Does anyone know or have a link handy on what the median and average returns, sharpe ratios have been for quant funds in the past 5 years?

"... In the United States, the influence of religion is not confined to the manners, but it extends to the intelligence of the people... Christianity, therefore, reigns without obstacle, by universal consent... I sought for the key to the greatness and genius of America in her harbors...; in...

A final thought, Jesus said "Narrow is the gate that leads to eternal life, and few are those who find it"... worthy of pondering...

I did not say that it was fine, but rather that it was a concession to the baser instincts of the people who lived 3,700 years ago. Jesus Himself did not think it was fine, otherwise He wouldn't have taught against the Law of Moses! Again, a point which you have chosen to ignore is that Christ...

It is not a question of interpretation, because the teaching needs none. When Christ says "love your enemies, do good to them", no interpretation is needed to know that this nullifies anything to the contrary. Likewise, Moses himself by whom the laws were given that you rail against, says to...

You can repeat your answer, but it remains a non-answer. See my prior post, already answered this. So before the Bible is not pragmatic, and now it is? Why should anyone believe what you say when you change your tune to suit your argument? See my prior post. Yes I am objective. I pointed...

Factcheck.org? The Annenberg Foundation? https://politicalvelcraft.org/2012/07/11/obama-ayers-and-factcheck-org-all-have-ties-to-the-british-annenberg-brain-washing-foundation/

Sig, I answered you in post #36 and #42. You are free to disagree with my answers, but you did receive more than one. Here is post #36 again: The Bible teaches that the New Covenant is a better/superior covenant than/to the old covenant. Therefore Christ is the final Guide for all His...

Your answer was a non-answer, a deflection. The scope of the question is Islam and the Koran: If the Koran says to love our enemies (your claim), why does it recommend 100 lashes for the adulterer, who is hardly anyone's enemy? Luke 6:27-28 27 “But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do...

I think Paul Tudor Jones' highly publicized move to fire a bunch of people and hire quants marked a short term top for the quant world. In macro trading right now, there has never been a better time to do the type of hard fundamental thinking as outlined in "The Alchemy of Finance" which...

You did not answer my questions. If you had a sister who was caught in adultery in say, Iran or Saudi Arabia, would you rather her be stoned to death/lashed/imprisoned or be forgiven? Are these two options simply "different"?

OddTrader, If you had a sister who was caught in adultery in say, Iran or Saudi Arabia, would you rather her be stoned to death/lashed/imprisoned or be forgiven? Are these two options simply "different"? Pay attention to the stats between 3:14 and 5:30

No contradiction in Bible: Moses prophesied 1700 years before the coming of Christ, saying: “...The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your midst, from your brethren. Him you shall hear, according to all you desired of the Lord your God ..." and when He came, Christ...

I answered your question, but you did not answer mine. Here it is again: If the Koran says to love our enemies (your claim), why then does it prescribe death or 100 lashes for the adulterer who is hardly an enemy?

If the Koran says to love our enemies, why then does it prescribe death or 100 lashes for the adulterer who is barely an enemy? It doesn't, see post #36. The Bible doesn't say stone the adulterer or give them 100 lashes (as the Koran does) but instead Christ fulfills the law, meaning He brings...

Stu, A man had three sons whom he loved and raised to work in the family business. But the middle-born son from an early age began to nurture hatred in his heart for his brothers, especially the eldest. One day, after a quarrel in the field, he angrily struck and maimed his older brother...

Good luck to you, my friend :-)

The Bible teaches that the New Covenant is a better/superior covenant than/to the old covenant. Therefore Christ is the final Guide for all His followers, not Moses. There is no such parallel teaching in the Koran, whereby a distinction between teachings/covenants is made in the book itself...

"Actually my statement of fact is that the Christian bible is just as appalling as the Koran." This was your claim and in response to it, I simply pointed to Christ who commands us to love our enemies and who forgives the adulterous woman instead of stoning her, thereby teaching us to do...

Sig, The Koran quote you pasted actually work against your argument... The second and third quotes are also from hadith and not the book itself. Christ saved the adulterous woman from stoning, asking her enemies to cast the first stone if they had no sin. Does the Koran teach likewise?
