Article Abstract:

He travels some 250 days annually and has exchanged his US passport for a German passport. He appears to use gut feeling as the main ingredient in his method.

Fishing for inefficiencies

Article Abstract:

Many fund managers have argued that investors who have chosen index funds would be hit in a market downturn, when knowledgeable fund managers can show a superior performance. It is difficult for fund managers to predict when a market downturn will ocur, and they may not attempt to do so, but rather focus on stock selection. Assuming that markets are not always efficient, managers believe that they can outperform markets and identify anomalies.
