There are a number of factors that will not make your theory work. First off actively managed funds do tend to profit in most years. So if you do exactly the opposite, you would lose money.
Secondly there is a cost to trading. When you buys-sell-buy your costs are triple that of those that just buy. Basically that is what an index fund does, just buy. ...

@BenVoigt's answer is pasted below so people searching for questions with no answers can avoid this one.
Your final paragraph is correct. The managers are not enough better than dumb luck to pay the management and trading costs. But they aren't necessarily worse than dumb luck either, certainly not by enough to make your "opposites" proposal work.

From what I can see, their market cap is about 17.8B CAD, or 13.6B USD.
The symbols you found are the common and class A shares (which have equal ownership according to their financial statements), and the same shares listed in the US (CDNTF and CDNAF) Munich (YAAA.MU), and Stuutgart (YAAA.SG).
The two classes of shares are additive - the same shares ...

A correct response will be a list of books or resources that
successful day stock traders deem to be a good learning source.
There are tons of books with a mix of contradictory view on truth, half-truth and hindsight.

Assuming that your broker offers after hours trading and you have approval to trade during it then in terms of mechanics, trading in the pre- or after market is no different than during the regular hours. If your price matches that of a counter party, your order is filled immediately and broker notification is the same as it is during regular hours.

"However, what is the point for posting your own bid and ask?"
You can't. Only market makers can do that. You can only place limit orders that enter into the market makers' order books. Based on this question and your previous question you need elaboration on how markets and market makers work. Non-market makers can never sell above bid or buy below ask. ...

Your forgetting about the liquidity of stocks and how price is controlled by perception.
