Quote from Reaver:

As mentioned in the post you quoted...that is just my opinion. I personally find that less than interesting.

That's cool.

That's the most recent thing I've seen on Dennis in a long time. The last was in September of 2000 when he shut his fund down again. I wonder if the investors sued him again like they did after he closed down in 1988? anybody know? He seemed very bitter about getting sued.

I was in that fund, I did not get any notice of class action.

But, I scaled out of his fund and therefore was net profitable.

He had a big drawdown then a very quick recovery. I took my profits out. Then watched the remainder of my account get crushed in just a few months.

He had at least (3) separate DDs managing client money that ended bad. Which period are you referring to? 83, 88 or 00?

A supplement to the 11/2007 issue of "Futures" magazine, entitled Agents of Change, has an article about Richard Dennis that appears to have fairly recent quotes. This is one I found interesting:

Dennis says trend following is more difficult today and the struggles of trend followers are not simply due to cycles but to a fundamental change in the markets. "Something has changed. There is certainly more efficiency. I think trend following is harder, it had to get that way because the more people do it, the more that the opportunities are arbitraged out," he says.

Good point. He has made similar statements over the course of his career.
