Michael, Unfortunately, I do not have access to any University libraries, and depend entirely on amazon.com. As for the Web, I am not, and probably will never be, thrilled about self publication. I prefer refereed work, of which the Web has a few, but only a few. For example, the general consensus among economists appears to be that a large section of work by the two most recent Nobel Laureates are rather, well, nonsensical. So, I encourage you to follow my example and quote the work - not the author. Please note that I say this not with reference to the work that you have quoted, but to the general approach of providing references that you advocate, or seem to. As for Tiger, I appreciate your reluctance to continue a discussion where you do not have data, but not your enthusiasm to start it in the first place. Oh well. As for risk, as I have already mentioned (twice I think), I would ask that question to any investment professional trying to sell their services and consider any attempts by such a professional to confuse the client via the use of buzzwords to be a diversionary tactic indicating underperformance. If you think that Tiger's (or any other active investment strategy's) risk adjusted returns are indeed superior, please stop beating around the bush and say so (with proofs, of course). -BGR.
