Glad you are sceptical and not a blind follower. I cannot tell anyone what the returns will be in the future and you have no reason to believe me anyway. I suggest you paper trade the complete Long and Short portfolios for at least 6 months and see how it goes.
Alpha, Are you recommend the longs and the shorts at the same time > Seems like a hedge overdone, feel free to correct.
Yes indeed, I have a exposure to both the Long and the Short portfolio in the same account at the same time. Each for their own, I am just telling you what I do. Not sure what you mean by 'a hedge overdone'.?
Alpha,if i may..... Neet,have you ever wondered why hedge funds are called HEDGE funds,when they are predominantly directional in nature?? Alpha is closer to a market neutral hedge fund,which is a HEDGEd fund...I have made my feelings clear on the possibility of Alpha putting up the numbers he thinks he can on a fully hedged long short book,but if he can do it,he is truly outstanding at his craft... Are you familiar with statistical measures of performance,i.e sharpe,recovery ratios etc????
