physEcon :: stoked for the conference, such a great lineup! How is correlation behaving in energy markets during these turbulent times? Does it have ~96% correlation like SPX?

What are some good articles/books I should read before Friday?

I'd register at LacimaGroup.com and read some of their white papers. Particularly the ones on mean reversion.

It depends on which correlations you're talking about.

I'll be there, too. I'm on their MFE board. I'll be giving a talk on commodities for neophytes the day before the conference. I'll also be touring the colleges with my 17-year-old daughter.

Great, I'll check those white papers out. I spoke to Prof. Schellhorn about some of the models used for Energy and how they differ from GBM, but account for cyclical markets. I'm ready to learn much more.

Yes Ken, I will be there at your talk on Thursday and I look forward to finally meeting you. I'm interested to learn what risks you believe face the eurozone and the future of the global economy.
