You can't generate positive alpha without a PhD.

What a moron this guy is. A PhD is a noteworthy achievement but to expect it to open the gate to success in trading is down right retarded. I'm going to school for an MBA for the sole reason of having something to fall back on incase I can't cut it day trading. Look forward to having some oppurtunities pop up after you get your degree from Devry or wherever, but I wouldn't recommend telling anyone around here that college degrees make you trade better.

[BThe Efficient Market Hypothesis is built on the premise that the market's return / price movement is random. This allows the practitioner to use the Normal Distribution - where the math is easy. In a Gaussian / Normal Distribution, there's a mean, mode, median, variance and standard deviation.

In reality, the market price movement
does not conform to a Gaussian / ND. [/B]


lol please run a histogram of daily S&P returns. It's very close to a standard normal.
