Conclusions<br />

<strong>Market</strong> drawdowns, as a driver of “regret” may play a greater role than we<br />

realize.<br />

The character of the market over the past 180 years does not seem to have<br />

changed greatly.<br />

A realistic statistical model awaits. We are unable to adequately model<br />

returns to reproduce the observed market.<br />

It would be a mistake to view the Great Depression as an “outlier”.<br />

Taking the long historical view provides insights that are valid today.<br />

Any study such as this suffers from survivor bias and the fact that we are<br />

likely to have underestimated our α exponents.<br />
