Re: sharpe ratio

I don't pay attention to my sharpe ratio unless someone asks about it. That symbol is a negative sign, your sharpe ratio can be positive or negative depending on the amount of risk in the stocks you are buying.

Re: sharpe ratio

sharpe ratios are used in the financial sector to judge a fund manager's skills. Overall returns are the most important thing, of course, but sharpe ratios factor in as well. I was pretty proud of mine, it was steadily rising and peaked at about 3.7 last week.
