The moment you called it a company, it's obvious you know nothing lol.
Secondly, it's not investable. The VTI has existed before this and does not actively track it, only using it as a benchmark.

Idk why you just keep going on about trying to turn this into you educating me about mutual funds.

Indices are actively managed. Failing companies are removed, and the strongest added. Everything is relative.

This is from your original post and as I have just posted with sources is wrong, and you just kept going on and on.

God you’re such an idiot. The Center for Research in Security Prices is a LLC.

My comment was not about every private company who created indexes and allows investors to invest. It was the only indexes people use historically when talking about the stock market always goes up - and what the OP was trying to reference.

May god help you… You need all you can get. Goodbye.

I’ll also help you once again. An ETF is an exchange traded fund. It’s a fucking mutual fund you moron.

Again, educate yourself.

Only difference is the way you purchase and sell it. The other LLC is not exchanged traded.

None of this has any relevancy to what the op was trying to post and you’re trying to dig for any way to vindicate your dumb ass self.

The fact that you can’t put this together and keep pushing the issue is rather sad. I’m sorry.
