    Abstract

    We show that for every sequence of nonnegative i.i.d. random variables with infinite mean there exists a proper moderate trimming such that for the trimmed sum process a non-trivial strong law of large numbers holds. We provide an explicit procedure to find a moderate trimming sequence even if the underlying distribution function has a complicated structure, e.g., has no regularly varying tail distribution.
