    There is no shortage of people who believe they have a theory for beating
    the market. The P/E ratio theory (buy when P/E is low and sell when P/E is
    high) is as old as the hills. It doesn't work after adjusting for risk.

    Unfortunately, nothing works for beating the market after adjusting for
    risk.

    There are on the other hand a million ways to beat the market averages if
    you're willing to assume more than average risk.
