Thanks MrSmart.

Also, I just used a mnemonic that someone else had put up here (thank you!)

Pastor Stambaugh adds an estimate of liquidity risk to Fama-French because Pastor Stambaugh is a drunkard (liquidity) priest!

i don’t want to share this as i’m competing with you all but here it goes

the visionary style, When you can predict what’s going to happen (predictable), and you are going to be the one to change it (malleable), and you are willing to put the time and money into it.

HEMRF High capital mobility, expansionary monetary policy, restrictive fiscal policy

LEMEF Low capital mobility, expansionary monetary policy, expansioanry fiscal policy

Not easy to remember.

If there is low capital mobiliity, then the fiscal policy doesn’t matter because there is no foriegn flow of funds. That’s how I remember it personally, by understanding why it works :>

CML - Capital Market Line - sounds more official so represents everyone if everyone voted the same (the CAL when investors have identical expectations about mean returns, variance, and correlations)
