OK jj, perhaps integrity was not an appropriate term. Let’s see if I can’t better phrase it this time so as to avoid another reported/pulled post. LOL.
Would you not consider it reasonable that any company that acted as you state would be considered by those who would potentially care, to be a 2nd rate outfit? To further develop your metaphor, ‘excess inventory’ is effectively 2nd rate trading systems that may, or may not, have a positive expectancy, but are not the stellar performers the company itself would use. Do you agree that some would consider that assessment of your intent to be a reasonable one?
So if any company were to market ‘seconds’ in the trading arena and got a name for operating in that way, do you not think quality investors would perhaps think twice before involving themselves with either the lower quality systems being sold and even more likely, assume any managed funds operated by the company or companies within the group, were likely to offer their investors the minimum pickings from endeavours with their own funds, while keeping the stonking earnings for themselves?
Genuine question. I see room for both Woolworths and Harrods on this planet – but as a large investor, if I were looking for someone to manage my wealth (I’m not – so no PMs please anyone), I know which I would approach first.
If on the other hand it does exist then I will be able to make a personal decision based on facts rather than hearsay.
