Even the very best advisors would almost certainly get fired if they asked their clients to sit through a -75% drop in the account. If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my years here at Mullooly Asset Management, it’s that people get very emotional about their money. Gray notes that while this “ God portfolio” would compound at nearly 29% a year, the standard deviation and would be higher than that of the regular S&P 500, and the worst drawdown during that time would be -75.94%!Įven God Would Get Fired as an Active Investor The point that comes next really opened my eyes as an advisor. As Gray says “they are explicitly engaging in look-ahead bias”. Like Biff, God is able to pick the best performing stocks for a five-year period, and never lose. Gray talks about a hypothetical “portfolio” run by an all-knowing God that invests in the top decile of the top 500 stocks over a five-year period. Gray published this particular post back in February of 2016, but the message is evergreen.
This week, I worked my way back to an article by Wes Gray from Alpha Architect called “Even God Would Get Fired as an Active Investor”. Wouldn’t that be nice, as an investor, to know the outcome of every trade you make BEFORE you make it? II’ when Biff takes the DeLorean time machine from the future with the sports almanac to give to ‘past Biff’, which ultimately makes him rich knowing all of the outcomes of every sports game. I particularly enjoy ‘Back To The Future pt. One of the movies on the list is ‘Back To The Future’. I give Part II a B.Over my lifetime, I’ve compiled a nice long list of movies that I deem my favorites ( as I’m sure everyone else has as well). Fortunately, like Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Part III would put the franchise back on top. Like Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Back to the Future Part II gives audiences a chance to enjoy the humor and adventure that made its predecessor so successful, but never quite lives up to the expectations set by it. This was an interesting plot twist that remains (to my recollection) the only sequel to journey back into its original. Not only is this because most of the film’s best action and jokes take place in this sequence but also because it gives viewers a chance to revisit the previous film from a different perspective.

The movie really gets moving when the characters go back to 1955. Instead of seeing what life would have been like if he had never been born, Marty gets to see first hand what could happen when you mess around with the Space Time Continuum. The alternative 1985 is to Marty McFly what Pottersville was to George Bailey. For me, the comparison really rings true in the sequel. I have read some critics who compared the original Back to the Future film with the Frank Capra classic It’s a Wonderful Life. You can almost hear the subliminal messages saying: “wear Nike” and “buy Pepsi.” The filmmakers create a future that is one big advertisement for one company after another. Like most sequels, Back to the Future Part II doesn’t quite live up to the high standards set by the first film. In order to stop this from happening, Marty and Doc must travel back to 1955 and take the book away from Biff. Biff uses the almanac, becomes a millionaire and turns Marty’s 1985 Hill Valley home into hell on earth. Wilson) steals the time machine and presents his younger self with an all-knowing sports almanac.
Their mission is successful, but something happens that they weren’t expecting. Marty must pretend to be his own son, in order to stop this mess from starting. It seems that in the future, Marty and Jennifer’s future son (also played by Fox) will get arrested, sending his family into turmoil. Fox) and Jennifer (Elisabeth Shue) to come back with him. Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd) has come back from the future and persuades Marty ( Michael J. The second film takes off right where the first one left off.
They filmed both Part II and Part III simultaneously. If they were going to have to make another film, Zemeckis and Gale decided to just go all the way and make it a trilogy. However, with the film’s success, both the studio and audiences demanded a continuation. The first film’s famous ending was meant as nothing more than another gag. When they made the original Back to the Future in 1985, director Robert Zemeckis and screenwriter Bob Gale never intended to make a sequel. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson, Thomas F.
