What is my reward for a thourough reading of SS 6 in the curriculum, a topic with a 0% weight? Finding the parenthetical shout-out to AF.com’s favorite theorist, Nicholas Molodovsky. Vol 3, p 99.
Doesn’t the molodovsky effect have something to do with wave-like return distributions.
The Molodovsky effect is when cyclical companies have high P/Es near cyclical troughs, since they are trading on depressed earnings.
i may have to go reread that section. just because.
It’s half a page long - well worth it, SF. Molodovsky didn’t even make the index this year.
Molodovsky effect is the most talked about CFA concept on AF.

Maybe if I achieve the first ever 100% on a CFA examination I’ll be given the Molodovsky Prize.
If you get a 100% then you are buying ME beers in Naples. Molodovsky.
My parents named me after this brilliant person…
I’ll name my kids after famous people. Galileo, Amelia and Santa.
If I fail this exam I will storm the CFAI headquarters backed with a legion of Molodovsky cocktails.
molodovsky. FCK!!!
