They elected Hamas for God's sake. There's nothing more to discuss. And we elected W

j_b is confusing private equity firms "corporate raiders" and hedge funds. Not a surprise

Those won't be low risk by the time he retires You mean there'll be something called "retirement"? Not after the government can no longer place bounds because of spiraling Social Security and Medicare costs....

No shit oh wise one, believe it or not, even in the ivory tower we read the newspaper. But your point is...? Since when is it sound business (more importantly risk-free) to blindly believe shoddy ratings, inaccurate data, and unrealistic models? Seriously--this isn't even a question of whether or not the false wizardy was scientifically or even mathematically valid. We are seeing the proof that the people at the controls either don't have a fucking clue what they are doing, or overtly intended to invent some quick profits and run while causing a meltdown. Coming back to my original point (which you have yet to address by the way), trying to blame the insane business decisions of delusional and terribly negligent executives on academics is ridiculous. Part of what these guys (execs) are paid the big bucks for is to know when something is too good to be true. Case in point (and trying to bring this shit back on topic)--you don't automatically agree with Gary just because he is an academic, now do you? Well apparently, that's where you and I differ from the guys in control of these billionaire investment firms. Oh and Enter the business world and report back.

Erm, darling Justin, I read that book a couple of years ago and no, Texas Hedges are not scandalous 8D The problem wasn't the products per se, it was the data underlying the products. shoddy ratings, inaccurate data used to model defaults, etc.

I'm not sure he could locate Canada on a map.

wow Fairweather - you are pulling up new depths of Sewage!

Fairweather screams "Commie terrorist Faggot" as I sodomize him

hot gay sex! woohoo!

Nice try bitches, but the only "mathematicians and physicists" who end up in finance are the failures and charlatans. Real "mathematicians and physicists" would be the first to tell you that market psychology has absolutely nothing to do with the quantitative sciences that they study. But who is stupider: the pretenders claiming that simply crunching numbers is scientific, or the greedy businessmen and investors that bet billions on it? Where is the business sense that these people were supposed to have learned in business school? ps. good electricians make good money You realize there are papers on these exact instruments you could read and not look like such a fucking retard all the time? Of course that'd mean you'd look like the Charlatan and not the Wharton grad

And you spend 100% of yours with your head up your ass

Fairweather calls others Communists as the US nationalizes the Banking Industry. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122390023840728367.html Only in Tacoma.

See you in November! Well, looks like the judgement on the Idiot's reign is in. Guess you'll be watching from the back row for a while, eh? He's planning to move to Singapore to escape Obama's reign

Let's see...who'd we get? Prole, Dmuja, Glassgow, No13, and, of course, little Marylou Who. A net full of really dumb ones! I think I'll throw 'em back now. See you in November! Fairweather's off to beat on out in the Ronnie Raygun shrine.

i wouldn't want to be above treeline in a badass storm in any tent unless it was well dug in

I get the rum, he gets sodomy and the lash?

ermm, no.

While great bindings Dynafits, Fritschis/Naxos are better suited to inbounds skiing. Axons are great boots that weigh a ton.
