Quote of the Day

"Styles and strategies tend to be cyclical, but we are humans and we extrapolate in straight lines, not in circles. The entire industry is branded with “past performance is not indicative of future results” because we are wired to think that way: in most other places, past performance is indicative of future results!"

(Patrick O'Shaughnessy)
