@Jordan – will do. Will provide the data next week. There is indeed beta and SD, there is also sharpe, correlations and other data which I can provide too. Stay tuned.

@Xenko – ditto. Will start with the basics.

@Brian – correlation (to my knowledge which is pretty much forgotten when it comes to stats) tells you direction, but not amplification. Perfect negative correlation is actually good – as long as you re-balance, both have positive long term return expectation. Even without rebalancing, overall volatility is dampened.

Are there any ETF’s or funds that track the Altegris 40 Index?

I’ve always wondered how negative correlation works.
Basic math tells me that perfect negative correlation (-1) would be self defeating, for example if you had an S&P 500 fund with an inverse S&P 500 fund. But finding an asset class with a correlation between 0 and -1 would be the key.

“How about a “Futures 101″ primer?”

I agree. I have no clue what you are talking about… but I’d be interested to learn.

Very interesting, I’d definitely like to read more about this asset class since I know nothing about it. How about a “Futures 101″ primer?

What is the long term expected return of the Altegris 40 managed futures?

Is there data like beta & standard deviation?

Where do you even look up past performance? Is it owned through an ETF?
