What did all the “smart” people tell you in 2011? Many well-known investment gurus told you to get out of bonds, get out of Treasuries, and invest in stocks. So how did that work for you? In hindsight, we know the reverse strategy would have worked better, since bonds actually did better this past year. Tom Cock’s prediction for 2012 is that “the market will go up and the market will go down.” You can’t predict anything else! Common sense: Invest, do not speculate. Check out Figure 9 on the ifa.com portfolio pages to see the range of outcomes for a variety of portfolios.

In this issue, key inside aspects of the MF Global saga are revealed: In a private meeting on October 31, a CFTC official is said to have given control of the MF Global liquidation process to the SEC. This was a critical yet overlooked decision that may have put in jeopardy the integrity of the futures markets. For its part, the CFTC architects of the Bankruptcy Code have come out on the record to Opalesque, pointing to specific investor protections that appear to have been ignored. A big question being asked is “How could regulators not know about MF Global’s risky sovereign debt activities?” In this exclusive report, we detail how one regulator, the SEC, was the sole regulator to have information on MF Global, but they delayed releasing the documentation. Once the information was released, after a 0 million bond offering floated to professional investors, those bonds became close to worthless and MF Global descended into bankruptcy. With a looming debt crisis, our third story provides investors a key look at how market environments influence the development of uncorrelated investment portfolios. This leads right into a fascinating conversation with best selling author of the Trend Following series of books, Michael Covel.
