Daniel Akst's "Passive Aggressive," on the evils of index investing, threatens to mislead Slate's audience of successful investors and policy wonks.
Akst could not be enticed into a dialogue on the subject (to continue the theme of the previous item, he and his wife just had twins), but we publish Porter's response in "E-Mail to the Editors," and take this opportunity to draw special attention to it.
Daniel Akst responds: It's possible that, as at least one other reader has suggested in "The Fray," if indexing goes far enough, the marginal returns to research will become so great that research will pay, the market will be made efficient, and everyone will live happily ever after.
Akst reasons as follows: 1) When markets are efficient it is in everyone's self-interest to passively invest in index funds; 2) When everyone passively invests in index funds, markets will no longer be efficient; 3) Therefore, index investing leads to inefficient markets.
Since no one does any research, shares in Microsoft will sell for the same price as shares in the Imafraud Gold Mining Co.--hence the evil of index investing according to Akst.
