Tomorrow, in Barron’s

A managed futures wrap-up

In case you haven’t had enough NakedShorts this week—and NakedShorts most certainly has—I’ll be making one of my intermittent cameos, under an assumed name, in the pages of Barron’s.

The piece is a look at some recent developments in the managed futures business where, despite more than four years of generally undistinguished performance, assets have more than tripled since the sector last beat the S&P 500 in 2002. The story makes no mention of the names “Brian Hunter” or “Amaranth,” does not include the phrase “complex leveraged mostly mortgage-backed derivatives,” and mentions John W. Henry once, just to account for several recent obsessions in these very pixels.

So trip along to your local deli, or hop over to Barron’s very own pixels—www.barrons.com (subscription required) where the weekly usually posts around 7 am EDT Saturday—and play ketchup. Confident, for this week at least, that you won’t be subsidizing any old Australian’s aspirations to global media hegemony.

Or, of course, link from here Saturday morning.
