@arb8020 Try adjusting the bench to fit the back of your knees snugly. The angle of your foot matters too. Do a 20-25 rep slow, light warm up and find the least painful angle. Control tempo and hold the flex at the top for 1s. 1s up, hold 1s, 2s down.
@ScottPh77711570 Feel better, Scott. Shoulder surgery sucks. But a life changer for me, back to (more or less) normal after a few months (I didn't have a replacement though, just removed a big chunk of stray bone from a bad dislocation and repaired a torn off biceps tendon).
📉 New Research Ideas! Low-vol looks marginal on paper. Add real-world frictions, and it holds up.
Most asset pricing models still exclude the low-volatility factor. Soebhag, Baltussen, and van Vliet argue the reason is an unrealistic assumption baked into the standard tests: costless, frictionless long-short investing.
In the paper, once you bring in trading costs and the asymmetry between the long and short legs, the picture changes. Low-vol returns survive implementation frictions better than many of the factors we usually take more seriously. The factor that looks unremarkable in a frictionless world becomes one of the more robust ones in a realistic one.
It is not new that, in most academic papers, frictions are usually not well accounted for... and a factor is only as good as what's left after costs. Plenty of "strong" factors quietly fail that test.
The data suggest low-vol is undervalued precisely because the standard models are too clean to see it.

@mikkelickski (Byrådet bør vel strengt tatt ikke fokusere primært på Palestina og pappkopper heller. De har jo andre oppgaver. Uten at man nødvendigvis er helt idiot hvis man skulle finne på å påpeke dette).
