Comment on At 78, Scientist Is Starting a Hedge Fundparent

Those links appear to suggest two things:

1) secrets

2) magic sauce

While the possibility of "magic sauce" is in theory possible, its existence would suggest that it is currently possible to mathematically describe the behaviour of stock markets in such a way as to generate 35% p.a. returns by trading entirely based on this description.

A priori, this seems very unlikely.

Alternatives, such as an unusual access to information, and/or efficient use of existing laws, e.g. those surrounding taxes, are much more plausible.
