Wait... Why the heck would I give care about what my "peers" (whatever that is) are making as returns? I don't care about keeping up with the Jones.
Does copying my peer's average portfolio somehow protect mine? As in: is that some game theory thing where because they all do that, what they own keeps some value and hence I should copy that?
I'm genuinely asking.
