Emerging markets
Highest stock market returns will come from: NOT WHERE YOU LIVE. National bias and portfolio patriotism costs investors so much. Always underweight or avoid investing in your “home” country. You have enough exposure just living there. World’s top performers since 1900 were South Africa and Australia, frontiers then. Massive return opportunities were lost tying up capital in “northern” markets by geographically ignorant, domestically biased investors. Most pensions are at disastrous funding levels because they overweight “home”.Emerging markets? When India and China are the world’s largest economies AGAIN, so what? They are 90% of the time. In most recent 2000 years, USA was biggest for 1, UK for 1 and China or India for 18. Other things being equal, the most populated nations MUST have the biggest economies. As recently as 1700 China … [Read More...]

Sports bet hedge fund
Sports results don’t correlate with economic factors unlike stocks, bonds, commodities and currencies. Sports bets also offer reliable arbitrages and consistent mispricings. Diversify PROPERLY with new sources of return. Most people bet on stocks or sports emotionally and their PREDICTABLE behavior allows money to be made out of them.Invest in DIFFERENT alpha sources NOT beta asset classes. If your portfolio does not have an allocation to SPORTS ALPHA CAPTURE then the portfolio is likely not properly diversified. Efficient market hypothesizers say if I run a 100 meters enough times I’ll random walk it in 8 seconds at some point! The first sub 2 hour marathon could be by you, yes YOU! Good luck betting on such stochastic stupidity. The so-called passive mania depends on EXACTLY THAT.Skill is … [Read More...]

Economics Nobel prize
Nobel prize? Pricing options correctly is hard but finding dumb “prizes” is easy. The 1997 award to Myron Scholes and Robert Merton and that is with the bar set very low in a dismal field that had no TRUE Nobel. The Black-Scholes “formula” has led to many problems for investors but is still used to misprice options. The Literature Nobel prize was more suitable for Scholes and Merton. Rarely has such fantasy and fiction had such impact.Fake “Nobels” are yet more 1960s economics lunacy that must be put out of its misery. Anyone using stochastic calculus to “price” derivatives is wrong. But I am glad they exist so they can transmit their random negative alpha into my deterministic positive alpha. Win the zero sum game arbing … [Read More...]
