Annualised return to the high-minus-low basis portfolio, all three measured on the same construction by the same authors. t statistics 4.60, 3.28 and 5.43. Sharpe ratios 0.68, 1.04 and 0.76.

Most published anomalies shrink once the paper is out. Sorting commodity futures on the slope of their own forward curve returned 10.04% a year from 1959 to 2004, and when the original authors tested 2005 to 2014 it returned 10.41%.
