A financial index is a benchmark — a measuring tape for an asset class, tracking a basket of securities so nobody has to watch every ticker themselves. The S&P 500 tracks 500 blue chips. $IDX9000 tracks something more honest: the collective conviction of everyone who's ever bought the top and refused to sell. Professional money managers spend their careers measuring returns against a benchmark. We decided to be the benchmark. Every dip is a rebalancing event. Every rip is the index doing its one job. Loss porn is temporary. Diamond hands are forever.
