And of course, let's not forget that you really should listen to the extra episodes

Alan and I are producing and putting out on Mondays and Fridays where we are very fortunate

to be speaking to the largest and most successful CTA firms in the world, which I think is

essentially the first time ever where they have been kind of rounded up together,
