Those aren't models. Those are investing philosophies. And they're so general and vague that I really don't understand what point you're trying to make. You asked no concrete question, and you will get no concrete answer.

If you want to educate yourself, don't ask HN, do your homework and read Harris' book: http://www-rcf.usc.edu/~lharris/Trading/Book

Point taken, they are absolutely philosophies. That was a sloppy question, it's getting late here.

I was curious if people more knowledgeable than myself on this topic took genuine exception to these philosophies and had others to add to the list. Part of doing your homework is asking other smart people questions. Perhaps not the best site for this one but what can I say, I respect the people here more than elsewhere.

If you're interested in Finance, I suggest you read / follow Nuclear Phynance ( http://www.nuclearphynance.com ), a rather smart forum. Just make sure you don't post questions like this on NP, because those guys will eat you alive if you do.

Thanks, I'll check it out. I was deliberately trying to avoid the land of acronymns and unnecessary complexity though.

I find it interesting that almost all of the most truly interesting and valueable things I have read were written in plain english by people that strive to keep it as simple as possible. It's far too rare unfortunately.
