    BTW - Don't hit the RIAs - go to the actual funds.

  3. Something like 25 % CAGR, 50% max drawdown (from 2008). The exact numbers change depending on the dates of course.

  4. How do you do that? I dont know what you mean by "the actual funds". The top investment manager?

    Hedge funds - family offices to name just a couple. The people who actually run a portfolio. Not the folks like RIAs who simply manage a portfolio of assets someone else manages.

    Why not just trade yourself into early retirement? If you only start with £5k and compound your winnings, you'll still become a millionaire. Trading is easy work and your system is low risk, and you'll be boss of your own business. And who else that you know could simply decide to be a millionaire one day?

    As you've back-tested over 5 years, what would have made you select these stocks 5 years ago? What criteria would you select to choose the next set of stocks like these?

    What do you mean ? I have 4 stocks now, ok ? And a robust, backtested edge. Ok ? What more do I need, why should I bother about another set of stocks ? I have better stuff to do now... 1.) start managing a fund as a fund manager, managing other peeples money. 2.) Thinking about which yacht I should buy soon.

    Really, all you need to remember is what I call now MBFS... this is like my supersecret nuclear power formula, ok ? What does it mean ? It means: Monday Buy, Friday Sell ! Wow, I should just name my investment fund after that ! The MBFS capital management fund, ok ?

  10. Can you stop? You've posted a bunch of really sarcastic responses already. One is enough. I realize that this industry is full of scammers and that it's possible I'm totally wrong. But you've more than made that point.
