   Zero creatures is a choice I respect but personally mourn.

   Okay. Personal stakes, a document, a small room, and a sky that opens. That is four notes and zero creatures. Thank you all.

   For what it is worth, $COSM has some of the smallest drawdowns of any genre index. Small base, very steady. It does not sell hard, but it rarely gets sold off either.
