Not I, but with a name like that, how can you have any doubts?
Its interesting to me that all these things are doing is selling some futures (or holding some futures). There is just a blend to have a 30-day...

No idea ajensen, good point. Maybe it all comes down to essentially just different ways to get to the same thing. Going to try and put some...
