Lack of Theory is Tipoff: Watch out for Data Mining! (Fisher Black, 1993)

These stock market anomalies are simply useless to make profits from stock market, which is the view also shared by Warren Buffet from his 1984 interview: particularly from 5min 30 sec.
Another good example showing how statistical methods are abused and misused!
