  1. Yes. And then yes again.

    But so long as the music is playing and central banks keep the liquidity flowing into the market, nobody (almost nobody) cares. What will be the timing or event that really makes a difference?

  2. At least on the retail side, aka my side, I imagine almost nobody could tell you the majority of the stocks or bonds held by a given ETF that they have shares in, and only a slightly larger proportion could tell you how that ETF tracks them.

    I suppose ETFs that hold government bonds might be an exception. Still, if history has shown me anything, it’s that the best investment strategy is not to know what companies you’re invested in and to never try to time the market by selling ahead of a crash.
