Neil Tyson gets a laugh talking about aliens
The current hoopla over Trump's purported release of 'never before seen' UFO files,
inevitably found its way into other domains. Namely market investments, if you can believe it. In his recent WSJ column ('How Weird Are ETFs Getting? Try UFO and Midnight-Bitcoin Funds', May 24-25, p. C2), Jason Zweig warns:
"To see just how far ETFs have drifted from the investment mainstream, look at the Tuttle Capital UFO Disclosure ETF. It was launched - and I do mean 'launched' - in February.
The fund seeks to buy stocks that could benefit from 'government disclosure, confirmation or exploitation of advanced technologies related to non-human intelligence.'
But is it worth paying 0.99% a year for an ETF tailor made for E.T.? Matthew Tuttle says he was inspired to create the funds by videos that purport to show alien spacecraft moving across the skies in anomalous ways."
Let us note here the launch date for Tuttle's ETF in February was no coincidence. It occurred the same month as Dotard's big UFO files release announcement, e.g.
In which post I noted:
Trump himself has expressed skepticism about the existence of UFOs in the past, telling comedian and podcaster Joe Rogan in 2024 he "had never been a believer.” So riddle me this? Why suddenly become one now?
The public does indeed deserve transparency on this issue, but call me a skeptic in terms of Dotard Trump delivering it without some grift or unknown advantage he wants to secure. Like pumping up his current dismal approval rating.
In addition, Tuttle betting on government disclosure of the non-human technology behind the craft observed by military pilots is like believing Trump will suddenly channel Mahatma Gandhi tomorrow. As I wrote in the post, referencing my late AF brother, Jerry:
As my late AF brother Jerry told me back in 1990 during an extended discussion: “It would be like the techniques of the Manhattan Project and A-bombs getting leaked back in the early 1940s.”
In other words, it ain't gonna happen. There is no way, now or ever, the government - under Dotard Trump or anyone else- is going to allow the release of the firsthand evidence showing either the non-human bodies or EBE's (Extraterrestrial Biological Entities ) or the recovered craft. You can take that to the bank, if not the ETF.
Speaking of which, a nearly 1% expense ratio for a fund (ETF) based on a fantasy is pure wacko-land and not something a sensible person should even consider. As Jason Zweig writes:
"Investors need to start approaching ETFs with caution. All too many of the newer ones are investment junk food, just as bad as candy, cookies or french fries. And filling up with them can be just as bad for you."
In that class I'd also put Tuttle's new ETF, with his giveaway remark to Zweig:
"If this technology exists and becomes public it's a game changer, more than the internet or AI. I don't even need aliens to be real for my thesis to work. but it's a lot more fun if they are."
Several observations:
1) This technology does exist, it will just never become public because it's classified to the hilt and then some. Quoting Jerry again:
"From '47, the Air Force intended to re-engineer downed saucer parts - such as recovered at Roswell- and develop new, more powerful weapons. Do you really believe if they were at the point of possibly developing the equivalent to a new nuclear weapon they'd advertise the work to the whole fuckin' world?"
2) If ever divulged, yes, it would be a 'game changer' and bigger than AI.
3) Of course, Tuttle doesn't "need aliens to be real", he just needs enough easy marks to bite at the promise of a govt delivery of the "goods" and buy in. What was it P.T. Barnum purportedly said about 'suckers'?
