Definitely anti-mustachian wall of shame and comedy. (Managed funds? Chasing speculative above-market returns? Who gives a shit?)

Based on the article title, I was expecting it to be about ETFs shutting down entirely or something.

I was kind of hoping that this would be about low-cost etfs edging other options out of the picture.

Oh well.
