0:00.0 | We've got a question from Seth, who started out by saying that he very much enjoys |
0:08.8 | this new series, so we appreciate that, Seth. And the question goes, in regards to rates |
0:15.9 | contracts in the portfolio, what is the best way to achieve diversification? Is it better to include contracts |
0:22.8 | from different countries or across the yield curve? For example, would you rather trade |
0:27.6 | a multiple maturities in the US and Germany or maybe trade the 10 years from the US, Germany, France, |
0:34.4 | Japan, Italy, Canada? It seems many CTAs like to trade all of the US and |
0:40.1 | German offerings, but I'm guessing that is likely due to the ample liquidity there. If liquidity isn't |

1:29.2 | It's a conundrum for me. I get mass. You talked about it, right? Your reasoned talked about it. |
1:35.7 | I get massive diversification from stocks. There's thousands to choose from. You know, you can find |
1:41.3 | stocks that are not as correlated. Same with the commodities, let's say. But |
1:47.0 | interest rates, they're the worst. A lot of these rates, at least recently over the past, |
1:51.1 | what, X years they've coordinated policy or whatever, but it is difficult to trade the rates |
