Another strategy bites the dust - CTAs

Quote from Wide Tailz:

Might be time to get into TF algo trading soon.... after all the quants get shaken out.

They are all out. That article isn't really accurate. It's talking about the giants who all got their heads chopped off. Doesn't talk about the million little guys who died off over last 5 years.

I like your handle. You will do very well soon. I'm going to start Monday in a big way. Why Monday, man? Instinct. Fuck all the reasons. There are some good ones I have. But, truthfully, instinct.

Can you feel it?
 
CTAs trade primarily commodities. During 2008 they made high returns when stock investors lost > 20% This type of alternative investments are used for diversification. It is wrong, actually very wrong, to compare CTA returns to stocks. Most journalists know little about the markets.
