And that despite having access to more accurate data and faster trading mechanism (most larger investment firms are their own brokers for example). | |
| Oct 9 at 15:00 | comment | added | AnoE | I think so too, @Barmar, I'm speaking for both cases (in the 4th paragraph). I.e. explain how doing it active is unlikely to return good results both for OP himself, as well as for a professional fund manager (it being basically just a difference of scale, not principle). | |
