It may require a big deal of patience
. In his weekly article in the WSJ, Jason Zweig gives us an interesting article: “The problems With a Copycat Stock Picker”.
In brief us the great writer goes on to say:
– This year had been a bad year for someone who had followed large investors or hedge funds, most are in losses of 5%, and some have lost 10% over the last 3 months.
-Follow One can only be very risky. They make big bets and have great patience and great fortunes to support them.
-Follow Several can be an alternative and there are ETFs that do precisely this: AlphaClone Alternative Alpha and Global X Guru Index.
His conclusion is:
– Select action to beat the market is a difficult task.
– Select investors who can choose to beat the stock market is at least as difficult.
– And select funds or ETFs that investors can select which in turn select actions clap the market may be the most difficult task of all.
