Message: [QUOTE="intlzncster, post: 2857302, member: 56"] Problem is quants haven't figured out how to reliably beat the market year in year out. Wallstreet's biggest problem is two fold. 1) for the most part, they have to be in the market in some form or fashion all the time. One of the biggest advantages a private investor has is to be able to be out of a market for stretches. Then profit on bigger up/down swings. 2) they are largerly quarterly driven, and their investing strategy/timeline reflects that. This forces them in and out of positions at less than favorable (higher) rate Private investors can look longer term, and do not have to churn their accounts. [/QUOTE]
