Transcript
Now, I'm going to get a lot of people really upset with this is an example of Warren Buffett's returns pre and postreg. Now, what do you see? His returns were double the market returns when this kind of information sharing was legal. And the minute that it became illegal and you had to basically act on the same edge as everybody else, his returns went to the market return. He generated zero alpha. In fact, he probably on the margins lost a little bit. So, this is the single best investor in the world. This is what happens when you have information symmetry. So it's just meant to explain that markets thrive when there's
asymmetry. Billions and billions of dollars will be made in asymmetry. The prediction markets today unless they are regulated out of existence or shut down will look like the stock market pre-reg FD.
