I feel like a significant fault in the model you propose is that you're exposed to the value of the public market, not the economy.

Market cap lost to non-public companies will disappear from your portfolio.

That's a fair critique, but one that applies equally to other strategies for picking stocks of public companies, so is kind of out of scope.
