I may look for the book at Moe's. Not that it matters, but you haven't looked at the printed reference I gave you. It's only a few pages long; a minute at the xerox machine in the university library should do it. I assume you also haven't followed any of the links I gave you, or at least I hope you don't mean the phrase "clearinghouse of nonsense" to apply to the Nobel Committee, William Sharpe or Mordecai Kurz. There is a ludicrous amount of good work on the web, from the NBER's working papers archive to the federal reserve to academics who post their work. It facilitates discussion to use links. I encourage you to follow mine. Here's one I read yesterday: federalreserve.gov You may disagree with it, but it's hardly "nonsense". Sorry for dropping the JR/Tiger thread; highly abbreviated data stymied our discussion of the fund, and you seemed unwilling to follow the conversation away from that dead-end. I am interested in risk. Which "market standard" benchmark quantifies the risk of a leveraged, hedged, zero-beta portfolio? -mb
