Twitter user @RobinWigg shared a viral thread about one very bizarre Norwegian TV program. We're talking about a situation where pro stock-pickers were pitted against an astrologist, beauty bloggers, and literal defecating cows. If that isn't the peak of entertainment I don't know what is? Naturally, the professionals were unsettled by their competition. Can't imagine how unsettled they were when they learned that Gullros was a total stock-picking wizard.

    Text - Robin Wigglesworth @RobinWigg It goes without saying that the pros were a little disconcerted by the competition. So how did they do over the three-month time horizon? Käännä twiitti -Er det sterk konkurranse? -Presset blir ikke noe mindre.

    Text - Robin Wigglesworth @RobinWigg The pros did manage to beat the index, but basically did as well as the defecating cows - led by star stockpicker Gullros. Käännä twiitti 120% 120% 115% 115% 110% 105% 110% 100% 105% 95% 90% 100% en periode gikk det veldig bra. 95% Gullros ender på 107,26 % opp. Jeg ser en stabil og fin utviklir Langt mindre risiko enn kua.

    Text - Robin Wigglesworth O @RobinWigg (Naturally, the professionals bragged about how their returns were far less volatile than the cows')

    Text - Robin Wigglesworth O @RobinWigg But the beauty bloggers smashed it, beating cows, pros, astrologer and the index with a 10% return over the period. This despite not knowing any of the companies, even Norsk Hydro (one of the oldest and biggest in Norway) Käännä twiitti -Oi! -Dere er 10 % opp.

    Text - Robin Wigglesworth @RobinWigg However, the presenters did a twist towards the end, showing that their own portfolio thumped everyone else. Käännä twiitti 120% 115% 110,40% 107,28% 107,26% 110% 105% Vårt fond hadde en økning 100% på formidable 23,8 %. 98,11% 95% 90%

    Text - Robin Wigglesworth O @RobinWigg But that's only because they assembled 20 DIFFERENT portfolios and only showed the one that did the best - to illustrate survivorship bias. Käännä twiitti Levetiden for norske fond 600 400 200 Halvparten legges ned innen fem år. Etter ti år er 80 % borte. 5 år <1 år 10 år 15 år 20 år 25 år >30 år
