Robert Stephens

Hello there, My name is Robert Stephens and Welcome to the Boring Bull. The Boring Bull is a website that educates and demonstrates the power of Quantitative Investing. Quantitative Investing may also be known as Quant Investing, AlgoTrading, or Algorithm Trading. All of which basically means the automation of stock trading based on mathmatical equations. Our model uses a variety of financial indicators, macro indicators and overrides to create the best odds of success. This website brings together three passions of mine:

After 38 years in the corporate world, I decided to turn my attention and skills to developing an investment algorithm which could beat the S&P over a long period of time. The number of failed attempts could rival even Thomas Edison.

In the book “The Man Who Solved The Market: How Jim Simons Launched The Quant Revolution”, Gregory Zuckerman documents Simons investment model results which were around 66% over a 32 year period. My low bar is the market average which is about 9% and the high bar is Mr. Simons results of 66%. Today, our model is at 48.84% annual average ROI which certainly gives us some room for improvement.

I believe it’s important to state that there is no guarantee of success, and the model does introduce a lot of risk. Of course, making a new path to follow may be risky but it can also be rewarding. This website and algorithm are a journey for me, and I have no idea where this we lead. Some of the things I try to do is study, research, and read everything I can when it come to building an investment model. I hope I never criticize others that are on a similar path since we can all learn from each other. Ready to get started?
