About Me:

  • InLibrisLibertas
    Location : Mill Valley, California, United States

    I'm an independent investor. I make my living from the returns on my investments. I work at home, in the northern part of the San Francisco Bay area, or on my boat which I keep in the British Virgin Islands. I spent most of my career as an executive in high-tech, although I also spent time in banking. Down to one kid in university now!

Although I didn’t do the analysis myself, I read a report that the month-end ramp job, defined as the three days before the end of the quarter to the Thursday before the employment report, accounted for all the return in the market last year. During the jam-job period, for the first three months of 2005, the Nasdaq 100 is cumulatively up 3.2%, when the actual performance is down 8.1%.
