This paper reports on two studies examining the feasibility of friending adolescents on SNSs for research purposes.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Study 1 took place on www.MySpace.com where public profiles belonging to 18-year-old adolescents received a friend request from an unknown physician. Study 2 took place on www.Facebook.com where college freshmen from two US universities, enrolled in an ongoing research study, received a friend request from a known researcher's profile.

A variety of strategies is considered in historical backtests on different datasets. Our findings show that certain simple switching strategies achieve statistically significant out-performance when compared to the equally-weighted portfolio with respect to the Sharpe ratio and Omega. In our backtest, the 1/N strategy and equal-risk contribution portfolio perform best during \"normal times\". On the other hand, during turbulent times, risk considerations seem to play a major role leading to minimum variance as the preferred strategy.","PeriodicalId":90597,"journal":{"name":"Journal of interaction science","volume":"2 1","pages":"1-23"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67705290","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We construct an algorithmic trading strategy that is asymptotically at least as good as any trading strategy that is not excessively complex and that computes the investment at each step using a fixed continuous function of the side information. This strategy uses predictions of stock prices computed using the theory of well-calibrated forecasting. Unlike in statistical theory, no stochastic assumptions are made about stock prices. The empirical results obtained on historical markets provide strong evidence that this type of technical trading can “beat” some generally accepted trading strategies if transaction costs are ignored.","PeriodicalId":90597,"journal":{"name":"Journal of interaction science","volume":"2 1","pages":"63-88"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67705608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
