  1. I'd have to agree. Small positions and diversity is key. A fund stop loss helps also.

  4. Aaron,

    Thanx for the ideas on the sites. I have gotten a number of very promising leads since I posted on one as a trial.

    I have one question. Since you did not know these people, how did you know they were honest and wouldn't get you in trouble.

    Basically, how did you know they were accredited when they claimed they were?

    How did you know that they weren't using you to launder money or support some terrorist organization?

    Did you do background checks?

    I don't want to get arrested on RICO charges or trying to overthrow our government.

  5. Has anyone used knowx.com

    My accountant just recommended it. seems cheap for just such a purpose.

  6. harris,

    since the investors in your fund are "partners" background checks and financial due diligence are critical for those you don't know. be very cautious concerning leads from these sites.

    best,

  8. Looks like Aaron did not learn any of Monroe Trout's risk and money management techniques while he was employed there!!!

    Monroe had one of the best risk adjusted returns of any managed futures manager during the last 15 years!! Monroe never lost more than 10% in any one month, or any one year for that fact.

    Poor Aaron, just goes to show that day trading or swing trading or whatever he does in ND100, SP500, TY does not work!!! He obviously risks way to much on his trades.

    Took a peak at his website!! Not much there!!! Talks about diversification and how a managed futures portfolio can enhance investor returns...blah...blah...blaaahhhh..

    Good luck to his investors if he still has them!!

  9. I wonder how many saw the 96% for last year and shoved money into the fund in Jan and Feb?

    Having said that, if you believe in him as a manager it may not be a bad time to invest or add right now.

  10. Why would you believe in him?

    He has no long term track record to establish trends, or anything beyond luck......good or bad.
