Thanks! This completly debunks the insider trade myth. You would expect a Gaussian distribution around the mean, which would be a market neutral index. And you get even a slightly to the left shifted Gaussian bell curve.
Ah, well there you go then... 25ish people out of 535?
Again, it'd be worrying if the same people were consistently ahead of the market... but that would also be super obvious.
Yep, people make a big thing out of it and maybe the proportion of them that beat SPY is higher than the proportion of random investors that do it, but there's no good way to say 🤷
