Assume somebody with an unusually high iq and a substantial understanding of gambling mathematics, finance, and economics.

Assume this individual would be working with total capital of approximately $100k and would work from his home office.

Assume this individual could devote several hours per day if necessary.

Realistically, is there a reasonable way this individual could master getting in and out of investments in a way that leads to a significantly higher return than the general market?

I am pretty well versed in the efficient market hypothesis, and I generally think that short-term trading is little more than flipping coins with transaction costs. But there clearly are entire firms set up that apparently make money trading the market, and there are individuals who do make significant income trading. These successful traders are likely like any business person who found a profitable niche: they do all they can to not publicize how they're making money.

Thanks.

Contrary to most of the others who have answered before me, I think that you have to be a complete idiot to lose money in the stock market. The only way that I can see, that people lose money, is because they panic, or they do things which are really, really, stupid. You'll never go broke betting on the stupidity of others. I only have a tenth grade education, but I make a good living in the stock market, by simply letting really "intelligent" people, give me money.
