Think about a number of the best peforming funds on the planet. The Soros', the Buffet's, the Victor Niederhoffers (both in his old life and his new lifestyle ), the Renaissance Capitals etc etc.. the best of the best bringing home not pa typically, unless they are hiding something. If we intend on staying in the sport within the long term, this should tell us something.
My only caveat is here is finance dimensions. Buffet and others have noticed that smaller players can exploit opportunities without running up against constraints, and so may have the ability to enjoy a better rate of return. I know there are several out there (Chaffcombe for one) who are currently doing amazingly well.
