I had some emails asking about what "IASG" is and about Rotella
IASG:

Well, I hadn't checked on him for a couple of years and it seeems his
2003 was breakeven.
Anyway, you'll find out he has a 13yr track record with 20.22% avg
annual return with a -11.86 MaxDD, which is excellent imo. Ofcourse it's
much more difficult to achieve high returns when trading SIZE (I think
his cmmodity funds have AUM over $2billion)
Season greetings,
