jUsT dO tHe OpPoSiTe Of WhAt EvErYoNe On /r/WaLLStReEtBeTs iS DoInG

I see this joke thrown around all the time on this sub, and it'd be a shame if our autist fledglings lost their tendies over it.

So this is a retarded opinion, but why? Because really simple math. Every autist is retarded in and of himself, but together, the collective retardation is actually quite small. This is because retardation is like a wave. When you add lots of random waves together, you approximately zero due to destructive interference.

In other words, the combined autistic power of /r/wallstreetbets is not nearly high enough to produce a portfolio that is anti-correlated to the market.

And if that hasn't convinced you then think of it this way: being able to predict the exact inverse of the market is mathematically equivalent to being able to predict the market. The inverse of the market can be expressed as being proportional to the market, meaning those two functions are linearly dependent.

If you think everyone on this sub can consistently predict something that is anti-correlated to the market, then you would be able to make risk-free profit by arbitraging the spread between the hypothetical portfolio and the market.
