Question for investing people.. say I started a hedge fund, put all the money in vanguard to achieve s&p500 benchmark return, then once a year did an options bet with a roughly 97 percent chance of a 3 percent return and a 3 percent chance of ruin. I do this for 10 years, outperformng the s&p 500 by 3 percent consistently. I have 70 percent odds of not being ruined, and I consistent outperform most hedge funds. I have good alpha and there is no way to see that my beta ain't great. Would I become a wealthy hedge fund manager?
