makloda, thanks. defintaley a good point.

Thanks for the replies guys. As for the strategy, obviously there are no guarantees, there's no way to remove that risk for the investor. And I dont think you are even allowed to 'guarantee a profit'. What I want to know is what could a fund do with its actual setup to build a clients trust...

I'd like to ask peoples opinion here. First I am in no way nor do I have any intention of advertising any services or products here now or ever. I would like to know what, from an investors point of view could a fund or investment manager could do to earn the investors trust? Obviously...

nazzdack, your definately right there. Although Im not interested in trying to reinvent the wheel, nor am I trying to create any holy Grail. Just trying to create some more specific industry based indices that track my interests a little more accurately than whats out there. I think that...

I'm looking at creating a group of original market indices for my own analysis. The question I have is what would be the best way to calculate them. They need to not only be accurate in regards to current prices, but I also need to be confident that the historical prices are also accurate...

Sorry, guys, I had kinda given up on getting any replies. Thanks fort he replies guys. Ill definately look further into those setups.

thanks hajimow, but I was asking about investment possibilities other than the ETF's. While I believe FXI will continue to go up long term ( I have some of my portfolio in it,) I would like to choose whic parts of their economy I invest in. The commodities one is a good play. I guess as too...

No takers? I should add, that Im not very experienced with any programming language so I would also prefer a software package that is user friendly, having to learn something wouldnt be entirely out of the question however..... I have come across MatLab and FinCad, doesn any one have...

Martinghoul, you mentioned those terms are not used in relation to bonds, is that to say that barkwardation is not a reliable indicator of anything as may be read into other commodities?

Anyone out there using software to run risk/ scenario analysis on their option positions? Im looking for software that can do this. Im more interested in the capabilities of the software than the cost. So any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks.
