Mount Lucas Sues Rival Over Quant Model

|Mount Lucas Sues Rival Over Quant Model|Mount Lucas Management, well known for its quantitative approach to futures
trading, has filed a patent-infringement lawsuit against rival quant manager
Alpha Financial Technologies. In a complaint filed last month in New York,
the Newtown, Pa., firm accuses Alpha Financial of using a Mount Lucas program
to manage a proprietary index called ATF Diversified Trends Indicator. Both
Mount Lucas and Alpha Financial, a Grapevine, Texas, firm headed by famed
futures trader Victor Sperandeo, manage hedge funds based on proprietary
indexes that track commodity and financial futures. Im comfortable were in
the right, said Sperandeo, better known as Trader Vic. His firm has yet to
file a formal response. What prompted the lawsuit A routine review of
competitors funds by Mount Lucas law firm, Leason Ellis of White Plains, N.Y.
Lawyer David Leason insists Mount Lucas isnt out to damage Alpha
Financials business. Mount Lucas interest is that it receives a fair
royalty, he said. Although Mount Lucas has been in business for 25 years,

I Really, Really Need to Make Money

I Really, Really Need to Make Money

Who doesn’t?  In this troubled economy many people are facing financial devastation and don’t know where to turn… perhaps the internet is the answer.

There sure are enough marketing “Gurus” out there trying to profit off this desperation and the fact hat millions of people all over the world really, really need to make money right now.  And they need to do it in a hurry.  

What about you?  Have you fallen for any of those get rich money making plans yet?  How about the push button magical systems that flood your bank account while you sip some fruity drink on a beach somewhere?

Don’t feel bad if you have, desperation is a powerful motivator and there is no shortage of people who will use your desperation against you and take the last little bit of money you have left.

Please understand that while it is vital to your success online to learn from someone who has already done it, you do not need to spend a fortune to do so.

You can get a great education in internet marketing for under fifty bucks if you take your time and don’t jump on the next sales letter you read.

These sales letters are designed to make you buy, so resist the urge to do so until you have checked out all your options.

Now, in the beginning you will want to start by selling someone else’s products because you most likely don’t have your own.

And I’m not talking about selling physical things either, they cost too much to produce and to ship so you don’t make much in commission.

But, if you sell digital products like eBooks then there is no production or shipping charges and the owners will pay you 50-75% in commissions, it really is a win-win for everyone involved and the best way to get online and make money without spending a dime of your own.

So, if you really, really need to make money and make it fast, the internet and affiliate marketing is the only way to go!

If you really, really need to make money stop stressing, there are options out there. It’s important that you make the right decisions and get the right training and I’d really love the opportunity to help you with that, like I have done for thousands of others.

EIA: Shale Gas Production Will Be HUGE In 2035

|EIA: Shale Gas Production Will Be HUGE In 2035|

The Energy Information Association is out with its new Annual Energy Outlook.

One projection that stands out is the outlook for shale gas production (h/t Mark Perry), both as an absolute source of natural gas as well as its share of natural gas production.

Shale gas isn’t without it’s controversies considering the method in which it’s extracted, so this may alarm some environmentalists.  On the other hand, this could be very encouraging for jobs.
