    I'm a long only trader. Either long or cash.

    Not sure about a basket of Hedge funds. Remember the Buffet bet where he did a buy and hold of the S&P against a basket of hedge funds over a period of 10 years. Million bucks and I think he got paid off early.

    If I followed @longandshort I'd end up with analysis paralysis. :)

    Kindly explain... you lost me a bit here. Is that because the price return versions pay a dividend?

    Then tsx is probably the best benchmark.

    I can assure you he’s not stuck in his own analysis.

    Oh I know he isn't. His system apparently works very well for him. It's just not for me. I like to keep things simple. The more information I have the more likely it is that I'll be influenced to stay in a trade to long.
