I'm hoping the organization comes up with some simple strategies in its ongoing research to make the system more appealing to people like me, who find computing the betas a bit cumbersome.

@Noreen, There is always room for more math ;-)

Even with my engineering background I find it easy to get lost sometimes trying to follow the math behind some of the investment modesl. A lot of the people building them are utilizing such high level of math that the vast majority of us just have no chance to follow it without some majory studying first.

I know you are right TelecomFreq...I just wish I had loaded up on more math courses when I had the chance.

@Dex,

It seems that math runs the world, we can not make a single move without punching something into a mathmatic model first. ;-)

The whole concept strips out the idea of making a quick buck overnight on a hot stock, but it supports the old tortoise and hare thing -- slow and steady wins the race, or, in this case, the best returns.

I've heard about this asymmetry before, but for some reason always associated it with stocks that declined more in a bear market than they rose during a bull market. Interesting to consider the inverse.

Yes, I wish the secret involved a little less math!

It would be nice to have a list of the actual stocks that were included in the portfolio. But it is interesting nonetheless.

I wonder if this is just the latest quest or if really has been found. The tehory behind this eems to make sense. I will give it a try and see what results I get.
