NYBOT pits are no more, all gone.

There was an article some time ago describing these ministerial homes... I believe the few properties that change hands in these areas sell for the hundreds of millions of dollars.

Sent you a message.

Exciting stuff! The key at the end of the day, of course, is how this stuff is ultimately quoted and traded. Look forward to seeing what we actually get.

I am a registered CTA / CPO, and I believe several others here are as well. I'm really not here to raise money and/or gain publicity for myself, just wanting to participate in the conversation + share experiences with others. But if you're extremely curious (or just want to verify if I'm...

Well, I don't pretend to know all, but I do have $22mm in AUM (starting from $2 million 3 years ago)... the bulk of which are, of course, coming from wealth investors, fund of funds, and family offices. So, I think I have some credibility here. And yes, of course they will want to know all...

I think every investor understands that a manager will keep private the "specifics" of their secret sauce. The exact parameters of what makes up your secret sauce should rightly stu private. But you should be able to articulate: - how you came about your secret sauce, - what can your...

These guys smell fishy on so, so many levels. No one in their right minds would invest in this. http://jasperjottings-daily.com/2012/06/24/jlinkedin-chasin-brian-mc2012-director-of-investor-relations-at-seven-sages-capital-llc/

No, not really. Audits must legally be conducted/shared for all partners in a limited partnership.... And legally you can't conduct fraud. But beyond that, anything goes from a legal point of view. Numbers in these databases can be pure fantasy. (And of course, audits are also frequently...

BarclayHedge (and probably Bloomberg) is entirely self reported information. Almost all of these databases are. They do zero checking of, well, anything. I know this since I report to them as well.

I'll believe it when I see it. Their form D was just filed last July. So I suspect a lot of "hypothetical" performance in there. http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1552014/000155201412000004/xslFormDX01/primary_doc.xml

It's very nice that you can laugh at yourself. :) I'm glad you had a great month coming into today! And think positively, 3 more months until we have to go through something quite this nasty. (But I swear, by everything holy to me, that if the CBOT finds a way to force USDA reports back to...

I hear synthetics on front month corn traded down to 677 (locked at 690). I personally got some trades off on that plunge, all the more reason they should NEVER go back to pre-market reports... I can guarantee you we would have been locked limit down for all the grains this morning if this...

There is plenty of overnight liquidity in grains. Spreads are tight even on big moves, quite a bit of volume is traded.

Can someone tell me what planet these guys are from? One guy is quoted saying his clients were concerned beans prices might be down 30-40 in the middle of the night.. News flash, grains have ALWAYS traded in the middle of the night.
