Am I crazy enough to start an ETF or mutual fund?

Was thinking about this idea right now:

If I predict a market crash and can come up with a full rationale for why I want to invest in each company that I’ve thought about, basically like an IM, and share it openly on the Internet, people, especially millennials, may want to trust me to manage their money.

It needs to be simple, easy to understand, and provide rationale for why I want to invest in each one.

You can write a full investment memorandum for each company, which then forces you to do your homework and research them properly.

Put that on your website for everyone to see, and launch an ETF. So fund managers can allocate their money to you, as well as retail investors.

Wow, I could get old people with money or even institutions who looked at what I did in finance, and have them invest in my ideas by showing them exactly what I’m going to be doing.

I also can market this to university students and young people as a way to give their money to a trustworthy and high integrity source.

Go directly to the market through the Internet.

Have people question my tactics and ideas in public.

Go to the Internet. Do Reddit AMAs, podcasts and Zoom calls.

Use my writing as a way to get people to invest in ideas about where I think the world is going.

Oh my god.

So let’s go through this again:

If you predict a market crash and end up in magazines, podcasts and news articles, could you use your newfound investing fame to create an ETF of your ideas that anyone can buy into?

Yes.

Like if Michael Burry all of a sudden could create an ETF when he made his huge bet that people could buy into after 2008, do you think people would have bought into it?

100%.

Wow.

I could genuinely create an ETF, see if people buy into my ideas and stress test them over the next 10 years.

Thing with ETF allocation is your strategy has to be very clear, especially asset allocation.

Because you will get questions from everyone as to why you’re making all your decisions.

You need to know the companies and what you’re investing in.

You need to spend all your time when you’re not doing the podcasts/writing, to do research on every single one of your ideas to create one page IMs that everyone can read.

Then when you announce the ETF, you can share them all so everyone can read it, and use the Internet as a way to let everyone invest in you.

Could I be the next Berkshire?

It’s possible.

ETF is probably the best way for everyone to participate.

Instead of raising a hedge fund or mutual fund, I could go directly to the Internet and spread my ideas to the world so everyone can participate, including retail investors.

I could just let everyone share in my ideas and wealth creation.

It’s the ultimate bet on myself.

Sometimes you have to be crazy enough to think that you can call a market crash, makes lots of money in the process and then turn around to become an influencer/ETF manager to let people invest in your ideas.

Who knows if any of this ever happens but never stop dreaming.

Dream for the moon.

Life rewards those crazy enough to believe they can do it.
