I agree with Bob, this is a little strange: in particular the idea that
you can't get out or reverse if you're wrong. Anyway, no excuses:
Short March NASDAQ (NDH2)
Long March Bonds (USH2)
Long March Swiss (SFH2)
Long March Corn (CH2)

REQUIRED CFTC RISK DISCLAIMER: HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE
MANYINHERENT LIMITATIONS, SOME OF WHICH ARE DESCRIBED BELOW. NO
REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE
PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN. IN FACT, THERE ARE FREQUENTLY
SHARP DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND THE ACTUAL
RESULTS SUBSEQUENTLY ACHIEVED BY ANY PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM. ONE OF THE
LIMITATIONS OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS IS THAT THEY ARE GENERALLY
PREPARED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. IN ADDITION, HYPOTHETICAL TRADING
DOES NOT INVOLVE FINANCIAL RISK, AND NO HYPOTHETICAL TRADING RECORD CAN
COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK IN ACTUAL TRADING, FOR
EXAMPLE, THE ABILITY TO WITHSTAND LOSSES OR TO ADHERE TO A PARTICULAR
TRADING PROGRAM IN SPITE OF TRADING LOSSES ARE MATERIAL POINTS WHICH CAN
ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER
FACTORS RELATED TO THE MARKETS IN GENERAL OR TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ANY
SPECIFIC TRADING PROGRAM WHICH CANNOT BE FULLY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE
PREPARATION OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND ALL OF WHICH CAN
ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS.

>The CBOT today announced the contract specifications for the new innovative

>on the front page of The Price Group Electronic Trading Division web site,
>www.pricegroupetd.com.
>
>Interestingly, the contract specs don't just include CBOT products, but
>also
>products from the CME, NYMEX, NYBOT and KCBOT.
>
>I have secured 5 Shadow X-Funds traders, which I have renamed O-Funds for
>the
>purposes of this shadow exercise. I have also extended an invitation to
>one
>other high profile trader to be a shadow manager. We shall see how he
>responds.
>
>The five O-Funds managers are: Mark Brown, Bill Wynne, Barry Viljoen, Bob
>Heisler and myself. I will be participating, but doing so with a random
>basket picket of futures positions picked out of a box.
>
>My positions for the first practice run are:
>
>Short KCBOT March Wheat
>Long March Cotton
>Long March Euro Dollar
>Short March Copper
>
>Ironically, none of these are CBOT contracts.
>
>I have asked the other shadow O-Funds managers to post their picks tonight.
>The official X-funds launch will be on February 1 and at that time we will
>pick the first O-Funds in the head to head competition. These first two
>are
>just for practice.
