    Pritsker (2001) - P/L distribution of VaR and ES

    Hi David, I am referring to Dowd's footnote: 'HS fails to take account of useful information from the upper tail of the P/L distribution. If the stock experiences a series of large falls, then a position that was long the market would experience large losses that should show up, albeit later...
