Well, things certainly took an interesting turn in November, with most asset classes squarely in the red after a post-Thanksgiving Black Friday sell-off and failed bounce on the last two days. Commodities got smoked, led by the energy complex, dropping -10.59% – taking down any risk on class: U.S. Stocks, World Stocks, Hedge funds, U.S. real estate. Managed Futures, as we just talked about here were long and wrong as well. Some weakness so far in Dec is maybe hinting that this is just the beginning of what could be an exciting end to the year.
