Not sure what your source are, they certainly conflict with what I've seen. Edit: The figure I gave does not imply that's what you will realize in any given year, naturally. And yes, there are periods where it may not give a lot, like the one you bring to light. In highsight everyone is...

??? How about "elect box stroked" or "percent box stroked" trade? Thanks.

having read the first paragraph, didn't even wanna read the rest... No, they shouldn't, unless you meant "abnormal returns," which is not what buy-and-holders are after. The buy and holders merely try to get the normal 10% or so equity return annually. No BS.

:confused: :confused: :confused: Wouldn't you like what you find to be <b>statistically</b> reliable? Unless the pattern or whatever you wanna call it is reliable statistically, how the heck do you know it's stable? "Occurs again and again" is alternative to being statistically...

what a "display book-reported trade" is? How are these different from regular trades? Thanks.

No it's not child's play and yes, some of them do have contracts open while they teach. I know of at least two at this university that trade actively. I'm not a professor yet, but I often give my students a quiz and check the action in the meantime, add/close a position here and there etc. So...

The question has to be posed in the context of the size of inefficiencies. It's very unlikely that one can find a huge inefficiency within a short time window (e.g. intraday) as scale effects would be dramatic. Thus, almost by definition, all the really large inefficiencies exist in longer...

Sorry dude, but looks like your brain is useless if you make such claims. Economics theory can be very easily used to explain and predict the effects of fear/greed and the like. Read Prospect Theory.

Different strokes for different folks :). Besides, there's nothing wrong with a good ole fist fight. If you Americans had a few more of those in high-schools, maybe fewer morons would take to the guns instead and you'd not have school shootings. Where I grew up, if you are bullied, you go...

No supplements, nothing, just natural food and excercise. Since this is not trading related, I'll PM you.

Bullseye! :D

No I didn't. I said shove your wharton MBA up your @##. #1. In case you haven't realized this, what you learn in MBA is a tiny portion of what is really out there to be learned, a much bigger chunk of which will be taught in PhD. In fact, that's why I went for a PhD - I felt the MBA didn't...

Thanks, Babak :D. Typing clearly isn't my element :)

He's only wrong about flaming the CAPM and even daring to compare that elegant model to your BS. Pick up Linter's or Sharp's or Mossin's derivation of it and peruse it at least once before you make such comparisons.

It still annoys people. Hey, Mr.Market, if you ever take ElCubano up on his offer and go to Miami, let me know, I'll suggest you a detour so I can kick the sh#t out of you too.

WFT are you talking about? King? Give me a break. If he had even a tiny portion of the money those funds are managing, then the comparison would have a chance of being reasonable.

May I suggest a zebra pattern? :D

OK, that was the last straw. You think you are so extraordinary, keep deluding yourself. If you have not read about anyone doing better than your 15% <b>(not counting the losers, of course)</b> well, maybe you should <b>READ MORE, and get out there more out of your Motel 6 apartment...

You know, dude, if you'd cut the b#ll about being so "huge" and being the "best out there" crap, maybe people would take you a bit more seriosly and would actually offer you some helpful advice. Some of us here are actually trading and making quite good money doing so, your measly 15% on only...

No, thanks, I think I could exlain it to you better :D. Wharton MBA ain't the top degree out there you know.
