1/3
Efficient Frontier
William J. Bernstein
The Duration of Stocks
Location: Pearly Gates
Cast of Characters: 1) Hy Defees, fund manager, late of the Churnum, Burnum, & Spurnum Group, and 2) Saint Peter
Apologies: to Charles Ellis (Investment Policy)
SP: Clue me in, Hy. No one ever told you that snowboarding and Margaritas dont mix? Too bad, such a promising young
man.
Defees: Youre telling me. The buzz is my American Hubris Capital Depreciation Fund was in line for its fifth star. Lifescruel.
SP: The news at this end ain't good either. The tally looks pretty even, can't tell you if its yea or nay. (Scratches his beard
thoughtfully.) OK, heres the deal. You either go to the place where prices are permanently high, or to the other placewhere there will soon be an 80% fall in the market, with prices staying permanently depressed.
Defees: Pretty easy choice, Im going to the realm of everlasting high valuations.
SP: You got it. Thats the first set of stairs to the left, then down. (chuckles to self) I lose more money managers that way .
