Easy Language :)-

[Mike <rastus@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

	Congragulations to Omega for creating what is possibly the WoRsT language manual that i have ever had the pleasure to read... 

	Does anyone know of a decent reference manual (& training manual) for this language ?

	Is it just me or does the manual that comes with TS 4.0 a piece of dribble ?


	Thanks,

Hi everybody,

maybe someone on this list can provide some insight on a diversified portfolio
of commodities. From investment theory we know that holding a basket of
uncorrelated stocks/commodities is more efficient than holding a non-
diversified basket of stocks/commodities. The risk-reward relation is better.

How can you apply that to your personal investment policy? 

Where does the effect of diversification start to decrease?
Can I deworsify my portfolio at some point?
Is trading 20 or 30 different commodities a well diversified approach?

Or does the historical correlation between commodities provide a better
estimate of how much and what kind of commodities I should use? 
But when does an uncorrelated/correlated relationship between futures break
down?

I appreciate all the comments on this subject
