<Fisher WAS smart. Has a couple of basic economic principles named after him - which is more than most of his detractors can say about themselves. >

Actually no... lot's of his detractors can say that they DIDNT blow up a hedge fund.

<I guess it makes little people who will never be famous feel better because they can dump on a famous person who was wrong sometimes?>

Actually the private hedge fund I started with had essay questions as part of our rigourous training program asking "whats wrong with this"... about many papers written by the likes of E.Fama, French, Fisher, etc. on topics like portfolio insurance. Getting published may or may not mean anything IMO.
