  • Deceived By Correlations: A Quant Conundrum [View article]
    Well, anhy use of correlation can lead to dramatically different results that one expects and nothing can change that. Correlation in the past does not mean the same correlation in the future.

    ONP was never a safe play, and it is definitely not a safe play again.

    Yes, ONP has been vetted and found by numerous people, including their own words, to be found guilty of fraud. The real question is why are you promoting this fraudulent company?

  • Zynga After The U.K. Gambling Sites' Release [View article]
    That is my point - how is it cheap if it loses money and has a negative book value.
    Second point - investing is the way to make money. Trading is a loser's game.
    High risk, high return is an incorrect statement because you left out the other half - high risk, high losses. Anyone who keeps taking high risks inevitably end of with high losses. So, the more accurate saying is high risk, high losses.
    Buffett's strategy is low risk, high return. Now there is a formula I can live with. Lol!

  • Deceived By Correlations: A Quant Conundrum [View article]
    I think the resolution is to stop utilizing correlation as a basis for diversification.
    Investors have two good options. The first option is t invest in companies that are substantially undervalued. However, one may not have the time, or be able to find a professional investor charging reasonable fees to do that for them.o
    The second option is to just put the money in an index fund, like the S&P 500, that charges very low fees.
    Harry Markowitz may have won a noble prize for his theories that utlize correlations for a diversified, but he knows little to nothing about investing and admittedly is not a professional investor. His theories are not a good basis to use for investing, which explains in part why so many professional investors get such poor results.
    I am not a believer in divesification, except as a protection from ignorance, and, if that is the case, one might as well go with an index fund based on the S&P 500.

  • Life Partners Appears Headed Towards Inevitable Failure [View article]
    Boy, cutting it close. 2 and 1/2 years left on my prediction. However, if the next 2 and 1/2 years go like the last 2 and 1/2 years for Life Partners, my prediction will probably come true.
