The article makes the point that shareholders have suffered while "Shareholder Value" was touted. History promptly proved otherwise.

Survivorship introduces bias relative to the performance of the average company, but not to the performance of the average shareholder's portfolio. The largest ETFs have been S&P 500 ETFs since 2013; the index is the best readily available proxy for average investor returns.

>Shareholders are suffering their worst investment returns since the Great Depression

This aged horribly. The S&P 500 has increased an average of ~15% per year since the article was published. That's more than twice the average over the last century.

A vegetarian?

"...piece of the tenderloin is an attractive alternative."

A meat eater?

"...piece of the Tenderloin is an attractive alternative."

A real estate investor?

"...peace of the Tenderloin is an attractive alternative."
