Default Re: Active Stock Picking vs. Indexing Challenge

I notice the reported returns are not risk-adjusted.

If Aviva is taking more than 3.13 the total risk RockRock is taking, Aviva is the net loser.

Risk adjusted was not part of the challenge, but I doubt that Aviva's risk is 3x in any event!

Neither was an entire group of stock's performance versus a group of indexes collectively but that hasn't stopped you from proclaiming me a loser.

Note that PRAA is now a loser versus the small cap index.

Sniper, If you don't want to grade me by 6:5 on each security versus the underlying index (which of course you will lose given enough securities) then maybe you should stop bringing this thread up like some obtuse two year old that doesn't understand what's going on.

To recap, Jim Cramer made some stock picks for an imaginary bet where I got 6:5 on each security versus the underlying index and I am barely losing despite Cramer's reach and ability to endless tout the stocks if he so wishes.

Hardly worthy of the savage glee you display in bumping this thread.

The only other way we could have done this, Sniper, would for me to have constructed a portfolio of indexed mutual funds to take on the securities listed. I would have chose something like:

30% IJS
20% BRSIX
20% EEM
10% EFV
10% VPL
10% PISRX(no small cap intl mutual fund)

Either way, Cramer is still beating me and you are a still acting like a jerk.
