TSE J-REIT Index Double bottom in the making?

Surf, I guess all these funds are 10-sigma events and all these returns (net of fees) with reasonable drawdowns are theoretically impossible according to your 'efficient market theory': Winton Capital ($7.2 bln under management) Lynx/Brummers AB ($1.7 bln under management) Tulip...

And if he was the Dalai Lama himself what does it matter? Facts are facts and BS is BS.

Right. Totally impossible LOL. Really makes him look like a complete moron after trend following managed futures funds had their best 12 month return period in years.

Not blaming the scummy short sellers this time? I'm shocked.

I have this problem every once in a while. I usually log out and then back in and it is back to normal. Happens maybe once every week or so.

“I’d be a bum on the street with a tin cup if the markets were always efficient.” -- Warren Buffet

The burden of proof is on you, not me. You are questioning the rationale of billions of dollars invested by leading institutions, family offices and endowments, not me. I posted a live single FOF track record and the equal-weight FOF sub-index of the leading hedge fund index (HFRX). So far...

HFRX Fund of Funds equal weight index in USD net of fees vs. MSCI World USD hedged.

You are not presenting any facts. Not presenting any statistics, cases or examples. Just opinion. What you can't rationalize can't possible be reality, can it?

1. The fund of funds I posted above has a 10 year track record, not 1 year. 2. I'll say it again for you: Only amateurs worry first about fees and only second about risk adjusted returns. 3. Did you say something about efficient markets in one of your posts above? Are you sure you're on the...

I thought you were long UYG and magically making profits trading in and out of it all the time? Now SKF? Kind of redundant don't you think?

Most investors in hedge funds will typically have a 20-50% exposure to equities to begin with. Being long an additional synthetic call on 'bluechips' instead of a diversified basket of hedge funds would be counterproductive to the overall portfolio's risk/reward characteristics.
