so your point is that since u believe trend following losers outnumber trend following winners, nobody should do it.. you also believe that all gains accumulated from trend following systems are random. akin to winning the lotto. how did you come to this conclusion. i'd like to know...

asset rotation by funds of funds from one strategy to another is a function of trend following in itself. isn't any strategy's success really dependent on the current market.. i mean, certain strategies will fall in and out of favor depending on market cycle. i don't know how one...

i like blonde chicks with a big rack.

let's make a bet then, shall we? a million dollars that trend following systems continue to exist and thrive in 10 years. in fact, i'll personally make sure it happens. i can have my lawyer draft up a contract if you're interested.

i know a guy who's never had a losing month as a trend follower. in fact, he's only been down 5 different weeks in 7 years. he must be REALLY lucky.

rock and roll is dead.

maybe all this guy althucher is saying is that there are too many mooks in the market who have no idea what they're doing.

yes, and some people have the uncanny ability and vision to identify trends as they develop. because most people are unsuccesful or rather, incapable of it doesn't make it worthless. rather, it is perceived as worthless. the large increase of players in the trend fund arena implies...

Actually, if trading equities, the "closing" price is marked at 4pm. The stock could still finish down for the DAY in afterhour trading.

Actually, the Efficient Market Hypothesis is the central part of a larger field of economics called the Efficient Market Theory (EMT).

Well I know that the efficient market theory is bullsh*t.

profits and losses are realized when positions are CLOSED. so an open winning position in a bull market may eventually be closed out at a loss during a bear market. it is near impossible to calculate the real winners or losers from any one transaction because a long or short position can...
