Question ID: 744297
Through what avenues can I profit from a successful investment strategy
that I've developed?

Background: Through detailed statistical analysis I have developed a
stock investment strategy that returns approximately 35% per year.  I
have back-tested this strategy extensively.  Over the past year I have
employed this strategy with personal savings and observed returns of
over 50%.  This strategy trades long on large U.S. stocks and should
therefore produce comparable returns with even very large investments.

Question: I would now like to turn this investment strategy into a
career.  What are some ways I could go about achieving this goal? 
Should I start my own hedge fund?  Should I contact investment banks,
private equity funds, my alma mater, etc.?  I have a strong
educational background but no professional investment experience and
few investment management contacts.

A great answer would include a few suggestions on potential avenues to
pursue, perhaps with some reference to how other individuals have
become successful.
Comments on whether I am being realistic in hoping to turn this
investment strategy into a career would also be appreciated.

Congratulations!

Years ago, I developed a system for playing blackjack that seemed
infallible because I won EVERY time I played (on a computer, of
course).

I was thinking of playing with real money when for no obvious reason I
started losing EVERY time I played on the computer.

I suspect that, from time to time, the Gods have fun with us humans.

Beware!

I think the best way to go is to first offer this to friends. Ask them
for a small investment and try out your methods. Ask for a very small
percentage for any earnings but just small so they can feel their
income. Provide a contract however so there would be no
misunderstandings in the future. If you are successful then they can
refer you to their friends. Please ask a lawyer on how to go about
this on what registration requirements you will need to perform.

After this you can write a book for more income. :)

I have a friend who actually trades stocks for a living. I don't know
details, but  he does make a living. He does nothing else.  He just
recently told me, however, that he has twice lost everything he made,
and then earned it back. I think it can be a tough go perhaps, and
there is DEFINITELY risk, but it can be done.
