Default Re: Evaluating Managed Funds

[ QUOTE ]
Take any stock - Altria was mentioned in this thread. 11 million shares of Altria traded today. So, pensions, mutual funds, and individuals bought 11 million shares of it today - and all of those buyers think the stock is going up. But other pensions, mutual funds and individuals sold it today - the same 11 million shares worth! - and all those sellers think it is going down, or there is someplace better for their money. So, who is right?

This line would also argue that no one can beat a sportsbook over the longterm. After all, someone is always taking the other side of your bet.
