Hi all,
I wonder if there are (possibly well-known) simple strategies that are still profitable but too capacity-constrained that funds just don't bother, and somehow pretty suitable for novice retail traders?
Edit: profitable on top of SPY and the likes :P

Odd-lot buybacks. Deal flow is scarce, but every once in a while you get opportunities here and there.
Quit trying likely not worth your time even if you have 1mm which I doubt. Professionals spend millions on data, research, tech ect. You have to ask yourself if you can compete with that. Give the quality of your question the answer is you can’t. Use your time investing in yourself. Put spare money in a few passive index funds and forget about it.
