@Legacydust59178, welcome aboard to the small and elite group who have come to realise that the king has no clothes ! You have picked it in one about the long/short fund, but its not complicated. When you have shorts that go up and longs that go down and have them equalling one another, you have the results that ALF produces and that is, that it DOESNT produce any results ! Well positive ones, anyway !
If you read my previous posts in this folder, you will see that I agree with you 100% !
Sorry I couldnt have educated you sooner and saved you all the hurt !
Signed.... a fellow sufferer !
