Photo by saibotregeel Tariq Ali writes a great post about the follies of our fellow investing clan. I disagree with a few of the specific points he brings up but think the overall message is right on. It's wrong to judge the quant and technical analysis firms without knowing exactly how they work. If an investor who was just starting out asked me what style I suggested, value investing would be my answer, hands down. It's much easier to grasp, and anyone can do it—you don't need a PhD or any extraordinary skills. But that doesn't mean that the other forms of investing aren't valid. Some traders are just lucky. Some value investors are just lucky. Both styles have practitioners who are phenomenal at what they do, and who have proved it over time. Until you've practiced
Quants, charts and trends, oh my!
