As the Fed has backstopped every drop since 2009 with seemingly endless liquidity, passive investing has been all the rage over the last decade+. Unfortunately, the party is coming to an end soon, and who knows how history will judge the Fed's experimental QE and ZIRP policies in retrospect. With inflation at 40 year highs, the Fed no longer has the privilege of supporting the passive indexers like it did in the past.
Being worried about very low or even negative real returns over the next 10-15 years (as has happened many times in the past, most recently 2000-2013) led me to start building sophisticated algorithmic trading models that can produce positive absolute returns in any market context in early 2020. While there have been ups and downs, I've turned 525k into 1.4M since deploying live in April 2020. I've recently decided to publish 7 of them at https://grizzlybulls.com https://grizzlybulls.com, 3 totally free and 4 premium.
- avgDev 5y agoI wonder how your models are going to compare to S&P500 over the next 10-30 years. This sounds very much like a sales pitch, "I've turned 525k into 1.4M since", and too good to be true.

- mrguyorama 5y agoYou realize the whole point of HN is to be a big advertisement for silicon valley startups right? This is right on brand
- AnimalMuppet 5y agoWell, HN became big enough that it's worth trying to game it with ads. But HN does a pretty good job of removing (or at least hiding) them by flagging and downvoting, so I'm not sure that it's proof of jumping the shark.

- tengbretson 5y agoAll I can afford is 5 easy payments of $19.99. Will that be enough for premium?
- unmole 5y ago> 525k into 1.4M since deploying live in April 2020 Given the timeline, that really is not very impressive.
