Thoughts on the evolution of the Active Passive Debate
We are still without power but did make it into town to catch up on the world. In roughly 48 hours I have had 117 emails, cripes.
I shot this video last night, it is about my observations of a debate about active versus passive between Gus Sauter and Laurence Seigel that occurred at the Super Bowl Of Indexing.
The video is a real video even if funny as opposed to the one from a couple of weeks ago at the basketball tourney. I have a "time bomb" post scheduled for tomorrow that is a follow up for the video. Until the power comes back, which could be quite a while, I'll head into town to catch up every other day, maybe more. I will continue to post to the blog either in real time or "time bomb" fashion.
Thanks for bearing with me on this.

Thanks for bearing with YOU? Sheesh, Roger, thank you for even trying to post. WE'RE the ones who should be grateful, not you, for crying out loud.
Hopefully you can catch a hot shower someplace!
Heh on the typical role reversal considering its Vangurd. I prefer to look at it active vs. passive management through lower cost and lower turnover. At that point non-index managed funds behave a lot like indexes. Most of Vanguard's bond funds are "actively" managed and aren't index funds. Only the ones with "index" in the name are actual bond index funds.
You really haven't missed much, except, perhaps, experiencing TWS (Technology Withdrawal Syndrome).
A little TWS for many of us would be a good thing.
