They were both started in Feb 2023. So there isn't a long track record to go by.

In the last 12 months.
NANC has gained 40%.
KRUZ has gained 27%.
VTSAX has gained 33.8%. (Vanguard total stock index)

They both have expense ratios of 0.75%.
VTSAX is 0.04%.
So you loose nearly 1% each year in management fees. That's a lot.

I'm absolutely all in. Rebel Moon is great.

That's a temporary problem. One solved by the renewable energy transition already underway.

It's not. It's a thin plastic film. One that doesn't get into the environment at nearly the rate, since the aluminum is actually worth recycling.

It does seem that way.
I guess I'm not sure what problem you're talking about.

Yah, that's not how they are recycled. That gets burned off by the temps required to melt the aluminum.

Liquid helium is -269 °C. There is no risk of confusing it with what's in balloons.

Not sure what you mean by dissolving. As far as so know aluminum gets melted down. Any plastic, inks, or other impurities get burned off generally.

Cans.
Cans are actually recyclable containers, that fix most of the environmental problems of plastic bottles.

They've had resealable "bottle like" cans for a decade or more already.

Fountain drinks can use the same CO2 they already have, to pressurize cans of concentrate to pump the syrup to the fountain head.

True. I don't know how much that is. But liquid helium shouldn't be "medical grade" really. It's just a coolant for the superconducting magnets, same as any industrial use.

Who would've thought the guy who gave us a tour of "his" apartment, he'd clearly never been to before, has a history of fraud?

I'm just an XRay tech. But I would expect at least one whole day, for a pair of engineers to get it running again and re-certified. $20-50K for their time, plus missed revenue from the lost day. Best case could total $100K easy. Way more, if the damage is more than cosmetic.
