Yup. Not what I was hoping for, however.
My reason for asking is that when doing fund switching, folks often ask you to compare your results to, say S&P or some other index. The message was: "if you can't beat the index, why aren't you in index funds?"

I guess I'm wondering the same kind of thing. For instance, I once looked at Tom's Ultra results. They were not keeping up with buy and hold <qualifier> during the period it was presented and I looked at it </qualifier>.

In short <presentation pitch>we need a few speakers in Lost Wages to talk about selection of tradables and tell us how to beat the indexes consistently</presentation pitch>.

I have been noodling a paper for Stocks&Commodities (I bet others are too). Thing is, I don't think it would fly if our results don't beat buy & hold.

Any URLs with stronger results?

Cheers
Jack
