i'm most impressed with any kind of returns on a 1.5 or higher ratio. in that case, you can use leverage in many ways to increase your returns and really have a lot of room in terms of costs to do so.

does anyone have a record of achieving ratios that high over long periods of time?
if i could do 50% with a 30% standard deviation (which should be about right with that information ratio), i'd retire right now [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

You would just about have to if you want those returns. You can't spend 10 minutes reading Barron's, throw an order onto ETrade, and wake up a year later and expect to make 50%. You have to put in the work, including watching the market most of the trading day.
