historically yes but these 6 month bets ignore regime changes. volatility can crush indexes too if youre wrong direction

6 month bets ignore what actually happens tho. regime shifts wreck everything even passive gets hit if youre unlucky

passive beats active consistently but people love the story of being smarter than the market. its never a fun read when indexing wins
