Tainted Alpha

  

"High Alpha" = "Good investor results."

You used to be The Bomb. But then you shorted AMZN and you were oh so wrong. Everyone believed in you, followed you, did what you told them to do. And now your Alpha, or leadership role in directing investing, is...tainted.

Fewer dogs follow you. Lick your wounds. Maybe you get back into the game; maybe not.
