The "tech" sector label is a fraud in its own right.

It makes sense to have a separate label for companies that develop software. They have a unique investment appeal because their cost of production doesn't increase with units sold, so higher PE ratio if growing.

For "some reason" Netflix isn't priced as a media company. Tesla isn't priced as manufacturing.

If you create a bet on {person} getting assassinated by {date}, you greatly increase the chances of somebody on the "Yes" side thumbing the scales.
