Bad Omen?

Front running horses, even those entered at a distance, are the most exciting to bet. Clutching your ticket, the gate opens and you are immediately counting your winnings - until darling Alpo is run down by the entire field in the last furlong.

May that not be the fate of Tuesday's little eight stock long-short quant - to glorify what is simple arithmetic - experiment. Up an unsustainable 1.7% in three days, slightly outperforming the index in the process. Despite its early success, we still think the logic behind the selection is sound.

Aside from posting a chart showing its progress, we've made a couple of other changes to the sidebar contents and organization.
