Default Re: Good investing paper on mutual funds and alpha

Yes, well, we already had research that proved momentum in MF outperformance is persistent and you can earn free alpha from that.

This is just more icing on the cake....no, an extra cake!

Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves.

So while the evidence suggests/indicates that, on average, outperformers continue to outperform, there's a lot of noise in that data [ QUOTE ]


No, there is not.

This is also false. Stop responding to proven investing algorithms and methods of alpha-generation with 'your guesses.' Write your own paper and get it published and get famous by proving Roger Ibbotson wrong and get wealthy, or start a company like he did, do the opposite of his 'incorrect' strategies and make $tens of millions.
