tech/a,

Not all uses of statistical analysis are inappropriate, for example looking at physical characteristics such as height, weight. These lend themselves to statistical analysis and the results will be reliable.

Statistical analysis applied to the financial markets is not [as] reliable as its proponents advocate. It is useful until it is not. The problem being that you never know when it stops being useful.

So really this thread is more about how to manage the risk than anything else. Which by implication is critical of theory touted as risk management, that is no such beast.
