You guys should get Andrew Beer on the program, managed futures ETF DBMF.

Does anyone know where Wes mentions his poor man’s managed futures/hedge fund strategy. He gives a couple of funds you can use to achieve this Using trend momentum to get in and out. He uses it instead of using bonds. I don’t think it’s in this podcast

[@ExcessReturns]

We aren’t sure of the specific strategy you are referring to, but Alpha Architect did launch a new ETF that uses trend following on bonds and commodities after we recorded the interview so you may want to take a look at that.
