Our firm mission is dedicated to investor education and we often highlight and discuss hypothetical results associated with our own research and/or the research of others. We rarely (if ever)?discuss live performance on the “blog” area of our website, so the reader should?assume that anything they read on the “blog” is hypothetical and subject to all the disclaimers below. We ask that you use your common sense when reviewing and interpreting research findings that use hypothetical results or live performance results. Clearly, there has never been a backtest published that wasn’t “good” and?even live track records?are subject to survivor bias. We must account for this intense selection bias when reviewing materials. See?here for an article?on this subject.
