What’s up with C2 strategy ranking?
Today TechSignal… https://collective2.com/details/148563155… currently sits at 6.2% and ranks at 145. Which is hard for me to believe that it is ranked so low. So, I go to the strategy ranking workbench and do some what if’s. The only number that really carries any weight is the Age of the Strategy. TechSignal is 310 days old. So I put in 365 days and no other changes and the numbers did improved to 5.2 and 36. The numbers pretty much stayed at those numbers until all the way out to 750 days before it got in the top 2% and ranked in the top 10. Really? It takes 3 years for TechSignal to get in the top 10 if it keeps the same performance numbers? What investor is going to wait 3 years before investing in a good strategy that is working just fine after 1 year of history. If I put in just 10 days of age, the numbers were no differnet than today with strategy age at 310 days. My point is that I don’t beleive investors have a clue as to how much weight the age of the strategy carries in the strategy ranking. So basically investors are evaluating the stategies weighted more heavily on age of the strategy rather than the performance. Just because the strategy hangs around for a long time, does not mean it is performing well. I have look at several strategies on C2 that have been around a long time and I am not impressed with their performance. Yet they are ranked higher than TechSignal. I certainly get that the success of a strategy over the long haul is importand and impressive. But at what age determines a successful history of the strategy? If a strategy is performing consistently over say 1 year, then keeps that same consistency, you would think that the ranking would continue to move up in ranking every month moving forward.
