Celebration

Those who followed TI's recommendations in 2020, even a little bit, would have handily beaten most hedge funds last year.

An excerpt:

"The average hedge fund underperformed the wider stock market in 2020 but saw less volatility while stock-picking funds got a lift from technology and stay-at-home shares in a year beset by a pandemic and uncertainty around the U.S. election.

Hedge funds, which aim to protect assets in market downturns and have faced criticism for many years for high fees and lacklustre returns, in 2020 showed a divergence in performance.

The average hedge fund made 7.3% in the first 11 months of the year. That underperformed an index tracking the S&P 500, which would have made 14% over the same time frame, according to data from Hedge Fund Research (HFR).

The standouts were long-short hedge funds, which proved to have the top-performing strategy. So-called ‘long-short’ hedge funds, which take bets on stocks rising and falling, raked in gains of 12% over the period, according to recent data from HFR. While that underperformed the broader market, a number of individual firms blasted past that number with high returns.

Hedge fund peers that bet on mergers and acquisitions made 5.4% over the same period while strategies that invest based on macroeconomic trends made 1.4%, the data showed.

Paul Tudor Jones’s macro Global Fund made 11.9% through Nov. 30, the HSBC data showed.

Happy belated Chinese New Year, everyone.

In honor of the occasion, this 4-minute set is pretty hilarious, and even somewhat true:

And for the SJWs out there, no, I'm not racist. I am of Taiwanese ethnicity, and a recently retired physician.

Social Justice Warrior = "a person who advocates a progressive orthodoxy, often on the internet, especially involving the treatment of ethnic, racial, gender, or gender-identity minorities."

Happy Chinese New Year to the TIT and fellow subs ... the Year of the Tiger promises incredible volatility, increased polarization, and usually starts with a bang but ends with a whimper.

Still one of my favourite 2-minute clips:
