Review We often hear, and have come to believe, that models beat experts. Kelly offers the individual investor a simple, mechanical model that instills discipline, removes a lot of self-sabotaging emotion, and has a good track record. Will it continue to outperform? Actually, it just might.-Brenda Jubin, Reading The Markets book review at Investing and ValueWalk From the Author Two New Terms from the Book3Sig: Shorthand for The 3% Signal, both the books title and the technique it describes.Z-val: Shorthand introduced in The 3% Signal forzero-validity forecasters and zero-validity environment.
