Index funds are the worst. Everytime they hit the motherload, they have to sell it early on, so that the portfolio stays "balanced".

You cannot have a fund that has 95% Nvidia, it is (probably) against the law.

I thought it was the opposite of what you’re saying. Index funds buy more of stocks that are higher. And why would a 95 percent NVIDIA be against the law? It just wouldn’t be an index fund.

It seems to work so. Both Nokia and Nvidia started to disappear when they hit the 30% mark. Might depend on the country too. -- "Index Fund" is often run by robots and exempt from some curbs and cautions.

Maybe there’s a good reason for that. For example, NVDA’s performance has been highly erratic since their initial AI-fueled bump.
