I thought it mattered when managed funds got too big, but I didnt think that it mattered how big an index fund got...

I know he's been pretty harsh of Vanguard for encouraging short-term investing (ETFs) and adding more actively managed funds.
But, regardless, if the most recent news of him liking American is from 2002 or 2003, then I'd assume more recent news would trump that.

Why would ETFs encourage short term investing? I got mine to decrease costs even further, and intend to hold onto them approximately forever.
