评分金融/投资必读。很多老生常谈的道理,读LTCM rise and fall的真实故事更有真切感受。三个让我回味的教训: 1) Markets can stay irrational longer than you can remain solvent. 即便你能正确判断市场出错并采取行动,市场回归正确的时间可能抹平你的收益、回归正确的起伏过程...

Picking up where Liar's Poker left off (literally, in the bond dealer's desks of Salomon Brothers) the story of Long-Term Capital Management is of a group of elite investors who believed they could beat the market and, like alchemists, create limitless wealth for themselves and their partners. Founded by John Meriweather, a notoriously confident bond dealer, along with two Nobel prize winners and a floor of Wall Street's brightest and best, Long-Term Captial Management was from the beginning hailed as a new gold standard in investing. It was to be the hedge fund to end all other hedge funds: a discreet private investment club limited to those rich enough to pony up millions. It became the banks' own favourite fund and from its inception achieved a run of dizzyingly spectacular returns. New investors barged each other aside to get their investment money into LTCM's hands. But as competitors began to mimic Meriweather's fund, he altered strategy to maintain the fund's performance, leveraging capital with credit on a scale not fully understood and never seen before. When the markets in Indonesia, South America and Russia crashed in 1998 LCTM's investments crashed with them and mountainous debts accumulated. The fund was in melt-down, and threatening to bring down into its trillion-dollar black hole a host of financial instiutions from New York to Switzerland. It's a tale of vivid characters, overwheening ambition, and perilous drama told, in Roger Lowenstein's hands, with brilliant style and panache.
LTCM死掉了,只是历史的必然,不要过分苛责该公司的每一个管理者(除了小罗特莫顿)
评分哪怕是最顶尖的公司和最顶尖的大脑也无法忽视风险控制,无法逃脱人性弱点,而前者可以让后者极端放大。又一堂生动的风险控制课。。。
