French proverb, “If there is bread at home there is no need to go to the baker.” It refers to menage but it applies to investing.

I like how he doesn’t really seem to know what he owns:

WSJ: You mentioned the S&P 500. Is that literally the index you own? Or do you have a more bespoke bucket of products of different indexes?

Ballmer: If it’s not the S&P, it’s the Russell 2000 or some broad mirror of the market.
