I thought the Marketocracy rules were that we either have an all long portfolio or and all short portfolio. This weeks commentary talks about both his long and short positions.

Can we have hedge funds now? If so we are ready to take the pros on big time!!!

The average Investor can beat the pros !

85% of all the professional mutual fund managers can't beat the S&P 500. If you think the average amatuer has no chance against the pros then you are wrong. You can trade like they can't. You don't have to worry about compliance. You can over weight a good stock and you could go fully into cash and stay as long as you'd like.

With your smaller trades you can invest where they can't and most of your trades will be filled in one lot. You have flexibility they can only dream of.

Your main question is can you beat the S&P 500 and add value to the selection process. You can use market trading simulation games to test all your theories. If you find you can't beat the market with your individual stock selection then spend your time looking for fund managers that do.
