  9. Wait, “Has to lie horizontal with eyes closed for an extended period or will die” — that is the description of the very best class of investors. DEAD PEOPLE. So the actual problem with Active Fund Managers is that they wake up!

    Haha! Funny one. I’d have thought you’d give the fund managers a better score though. They can work even when the internet is down you know! 😉

  12. Good stuff. Although, most computer will die long before a human fund manager. Of course, the computer is replaced with a faster and more powerful version. Can’t say the same about the human.
