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.
告诉我,什么叫荣耀 ——《赌金者——长期资本管理公司的升腾与陨落》 有些执着,赢,赢得世界,输,输掉一切。 长期资本管理公司的一生很短,屈指五年;长期资本管理公司的一生很长,是一段历史。 如果说历史是一面镜子,在越黑暗的时候越明亮,《赌金者》就是一...
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...
评分每一本谈论长期资本公司的著作,都会花些篇幅介绍它的全明星阵容:所罗门兄弟公司债券套利业务负责人梅里韦瑟及其团队,因BS模型获得诺奖的墨顿与斯科尔斯,美联储副主席马林斯…人们称之为全球“每一平方厘米智力密度最高的地方”。 长期资本公司构建了精密的定价模型,采用高...
评分洛恩斯坦的《赌金者》(When Genius Failed)。他们的想法是通过金融工程技术算出各种衍生产品的价值,然后根据对这些衍生产品未来价格的趋势作出相应的操作以获取差价。长期资本管理公司的“特点”在于他们利用非常高的财务杠杆比率融到高于本金几十倍的资金,然后把...
评分LTCM是上个世纪最后十年对冲基金的传奇,无论从规模还是知名度,都可以算是hedge fund上的王冠。其兴盛和衰败都给了后人无穷教益,之后学界也作出了不少关于Effective Market Hypothesis的诸多实证研究。 70年代这门学科刚刚兴起的时候,很朴素的认为影响市场的因素是近乎无...
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)
评分看了几次,还没看完。
评分An in-depth review of LTCM. BTW: I'm sure Roger is a successful writer but he needs to stay away from reading audiobooks...
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。。。
评分LGBT对对冲基金好奇的可以看这个。meriwether老兄的经历说明一越有才华的人越容易自负;二你倒霉一次可能紧接着会倒霉第二次甚至第三次。
