Apparently the Turtle system performance began to degrade in the mid 1990s around the same time the NDA they signed with Dennis expired and some of the turtles began disclosing and selling the rules.
The Turtle performance began to degrade when the market changed personality and they didn't know how to adjust...a lesson many of us learned the hard way.
You even talk like Jack Hershey...like you gave head to a thesaurus. Problem is your verbosity is simply a subterfuge to obfuscate the fact your erudition is concocted to simply provide a countenance that camouflages your paucity of craft when such logorrhea freely manifests your ataxia and how you are replete with feculence.
So whether the system degraded after the rules were sold, or the rules were sold after the system degraded, the upshot is: Don't buy anyone's system because people keep the good stuff for themselves. (Why? Probably because if it does have value, its broadcast will hasten the best before date.)
Yes but of course in the Turtles case, Dennis and Eckhardt put together a group to mentor in order to prove they could turn them into traders.
The turtles who went on to manage hedge funds had a good run, 1983 to 2010. Over that 27 years they must of known how to adjust a few times. However 2010 onwards has proven to be very difficult for most hedge fund managers, probably time for many to retire.
Post of the century, I just think about it, and bust out laughing. Thanks for the laugh. The Ever Lovin Humor VIPER
