HAMPDEN, PA, September 12, 2010 (Press-News.org) High level managed futures investing has essentially been reserved for wealthy individuals and corporations with minimum accounts of $1,000,000 being standard in the industry. Through his firm, Hoffman Asset Management, award winning Commodity Trading Advisor Dean Hoffman is changing the playing field with the launch of a managed futures program for smaller investors in the $30,000 - $125,000 range. "Hoffman Asset Managed is dedicated to overcoming the challenges of the small account conundrum and serving smaller investors who want the benefits of a high level individual managed account," says Hoffman.
One of the chief reasons cited for extraordinarily high minimums in a managed futures account is the need to simultaneously trade in multiple commodity markets for diversification. Large managed futures accounts can afford the high margins and exposure to multiple markets.
Hoffman is able to overcome those challenges with his new futures trading platform. For two consecutive years, the futures trading software Hoffman developed was named, "One of the top 10 futures trading platforms of all time," by Futures Magazine. His new platform is a more powerful version, integrating many trading systems in one, and offering the capability to analyze and spot opportunities in over 70 futures markets every day, while adjusting risk levels along the way.
Because of the efficiency of his platform, Hoffman is able to offer a high level managed futures account to smaller investors.
The Growth in Managed Futures
Managed futures have risen significantly in popularity over the last 10 years as investors have sought an asset class that is uncorrelated to the stock market - offering protection from market volatility. According to Barclay's Hedge, during 2008's stock market meltdown, managed futures had one of their best years on record.
Hoffman sees managed futures again stealing the spotlight in the market in coming years. "2010 has just recently begun to see the raised volatility usually associated with trending markets," says Hoffman.
Hoffman Asset Management is a licensed Commodity Trading Advisor offering managed futures accounts to institutional and individual clients. For further information, please contact them at 717-732-1319 or visit http://www.HoffmanAssetManagement.com

Misfolded neural proteins linked to autism disorders
2010-09-11
An international team of scientists, led by researchers at the University of California, San Diego, has identified misfolding and other molecular anomalies in a key brain protein associated with autism spectrum disorders.
Palmer Taylor, associate vice chancellor for Health Sciences at UC San Diego and dean of the Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, and colleagues report in the September 10 issue of the Journal of Biological Chemistry that misfolding of a protein called neuroligin-3, due to gene mutations, results in trafficking deficiencies that may ...
Function found for Alzheimer's protein
2010-09-11
In people with Alzheimer's, the brain becomes riddled with clumps of protein, forming what are known as amyloid plaques. Now, a report appearing in the September 17th print issue of Cell appears to have found a function for the amyloid precursor protein (APP for short) that yields the prime ingredient in those plaques.
It turns out that APP is an iron oxidase whose job it is to convert iron from an unsafe form to a safe one for transport or storage. When APP fails to function properly, as it does in Alzheimer's disease, iron levels inside neurons mount to toxic levels.

Mental health leaves most costly disability to Canadian employers
2010-09-11
For Immediate Release – September 10, 2010 – (Toronto) – Mental illness is associated with more lost work days than any other chronic condition, costing the Canadian economy $51 billion annually in lost productivity. In the first study of its kind, researchers from the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) have calculated the actual cost of mental health leave and found that on average it's double the cost of a leave for a physical illness.
The study, published in the Journal of Occupational & Environmental Medicine, looked at data tracking the short-term disability ...
Tracking triclosan's field footprint
2010-09-11
A study by U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientists and cooperators provides new details about how fertilizing soils with biosolids also introduces triclosan—an antibacterial agent in soaps and other cleaning supplies—into the environment.
Farmers add "Class B" biosolids, also known as treated wastewater solids, to their fields as a fertilizer. These biosolids meet federal regulations for human health and safety, but little information has been obtained about their triclosan levels. Triclosan has not been identified as a human health hazard, but the U.S. Food ...
Sandia researcher: Amateur astronomers open potential lab in outer space for planetary scientists
2010-09-11
ALBUQUERQUE, NM — Two amateur astronomers who independently observed and videotaped an asteroid striking the giant planet Jupiter on June 3 have opened the possibility, in effect, of a giant research lab in space for planetary scientists.
According to a paper by professional astronomers, expected to be published today online by Astrophysical Journal Letters, the asteroid was eight to 13 meters in diameter and packed a punch equivalent to a 250- to 1,000-kiloton nuclear bomb — smaller than the violent airburst that decimated trees for 40 kilometers around Tunguska in central ...
