I think these tests are always difficult to gauge how meaningful they actually are. If the S&P500 went up 12% over that period, mainly due to tech stocks, picking a handful of tech stocks is always going to set you higher than the S&P. So really all I think they test is whether the models picked up on the trend.

I more surprised that Gemini managed to lose 10%. I wish they actually mentioned what the models invested in and why.

That's a bold claim.

Wait — isn't that exactly what good investors do? They look for what stocks are going to beat expectations and invest in them. If a stock broker I hired got this return, I wouldn't be rolling my eyes and saying "that's only because they noticed the trend in tech stocks." That's exactly what I'm paying them to do.
