It is not a very good idea to test managed accounts and rate them on raw results only. It s obvious that some of those managers take crazy risks with their strategy and, occasionally, some of the accounts will litterally skyrocket at least for some time.
What will you do then ? Give them a 5 stars review ? I d still not give them one penny of my money to manage because the account can collapse at any time and faster than it climbed the chart. If I was just another crooked money manager, I d cleverly use 2 companies and use 2 high-risk options strategies in opposite directions. One of my managed account would collapse in shame and one would be highly profitable. Then I d get money from the suckers with my successful demonstrator.
Dont forget that even a blind pig finds a truffle occasionally.
