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.
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...

評分 評分1. 依靠模型但对交易的本质不理解 a. 风险在本质上是不可定价的 Black-Scholes等数理金融模型定价的是"波动性",无法定价不确定性,市场系统对不确定性的定价是发散的. b. 只能对标的统计特征稳定(波动性可大,但不确定性不能大)的系统保险,绝不可对不确定性保险。(保险的...
評分Lowenstein是典型的journalist的写作风格,讲一个故事,每逢一个人物出现就絮絮叨叨的要把这个人物的小学经历开始说一遍。看你喜不喜欢这个风格了,不大的一件事情,可以被他写的很长,而且都是成熟性质的话。我是无爱的。LTCM这个故事其实一篇长文就可以解决的,被他搞得非常...
生活如賭博,我覺得運氣和心態完全成正比。

评分哪怕是最頂尖的公司和最頂尖的大腦也無法忽視風險控製,無法逃脫人性弱點,而前者可以讓後者極端放大。又一堂生動的風險控製課。。。
评分Excellent professional book about what has happened in LTCM. However I doubt they are genius or more average human, who nonetheless are controlled by their own fear and greed as well as the others. Other thing is it is again showed how modelling is diffcult for a financial market!
