This is the first time i've heard of individual investors beating the market. If some can do so consistently, shouldn't they be running a hedge fund instead of twiddling with their retirement?
- KMag 6y agoMany/most strategies become less profitable percentage-wise as you scale up the trading volumes. You end up pushing the market around and affecting the patterns upon which you rely. If they've found some pattern that very reliably makes 40k to 50k a year on a 300k investment, with downside semivariance similar to the S&P 500, they're beating the market, but maybe the pattern will never make more than 80k a year, even with infinite bankroll.
