I saw the thread, was interested, but haven't had time to read through it.
Unfortunately, the academic papers you reference are just beyond me.
But, in spite everything I 'know' to the contrary, I agree that in the real world, some technical indicators such as the 'death cross' probably have some validity.
I'm off to your hedge fund thread for more light reading on this beautiful and sunny Friday morn!

They are beyond me too at the moment.
I often get on kicks where I try to outline subject material that is just beyond my grasp, in hopes that it will help motivate me to learn it better. Sometimes it works, and sometimes.... well sometimes I just leave behind an unfinished mess.
I find that academic papers on subject matters like this can seem virtually unapproachable for months on end, but if you have some motivating factor that makes you come back to it and hack away at it again and again, bit by bit, then once your done with your little project, you come to "own" a lot of what the paper is all about, and become fluent in understanding the jargon, and also gain a common sense intuition for what it all means.
I think I'm still a few months away from all that, but hopefully I'll get there.

I just read a job listing this morning for a "medium frequency" quant, and I don't even know what that is.
