The Paris Hilton Trading System

From David Linton, CEO of  the UK’s Updata Technical Service, comes this bit of whimsy:

"OK, it’s Friday and I couldn’t resist building on an idea mooted by a client recently. We have dubbed this the Paris Hilton Trading System.

I started out with the idea that you buy Hilton shares in the US on good news about Paris and sell on bad news, or indeed the other way round. But the results were fairly mixed and deciding what constituted good and bad was getting difficult. The Optimised Stop for Hilton is 3% with a 5 day signal delay and you should not take signals during a breach or within 23 days of the stop signal.

So if you are trading news algos just take every ‘Paris Hilton’ on those stop conditions. The result is the Equity Curve below."

    Every time she or Kudlow or Manhattan Guy speaks…I think about Billy Madison…

    “Mr. Madison, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.”

    If she made another sex tape, would that qualify as an up day? Or would that be a day when the market goes down?

    The market would go up; she would go down.
