    The Long Short - Deep Fundamental Pair Trading

    No, not at all. I would prefer to avoid them. When they inevitably appear I am doing my best to make them work in my favour. Yeah great article. Burry uses FCF...... which for me, makes too many assumptions. Predicting future cashflows is hard at the best of times. Liquidation value...

    The Long Short - Deep Fundamental Pair Trading

    [/b] Yeah same payoff diagram. the only difference being you are paid a risk premium with the oppies and get nothing long/shorting the stock. Yeah but you are still creating a negative skew. No large, multiday move will ever be in your favour. These large moves just so happen to be the...

    The Long Short - Deep Fundamental Pair Trading

    I’m of the belief that reversion to underlying value of a company is stronger than most classes of mean reversion. <b><i>Measuring the value of any company is subjective in itself and I guess this is where the edge lies.</b></i> I eliminate analysis that makes forward, unknown...

    The Long Short - Deep Fundamental Pair Trading

    I dabbled with traditional methods of Pair trading with mixed success... I broke even over 18 months... After commissions, spreads & margin interest, I guess you could call it a small win. The common theme was many winners being wiped out by one or two large losses... Sometimes 3-4 months of...

    Each month i'll post 20 Long & 20 Short trades. Stocks will be evenly weighted & there will be no bias as to which sector they trade. The portfolio will be rolled over at the end of each month where 40 new stocks will replace the existing porfolio. I will discuss stops/position sizing/risk...
