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.

比the big short和the greatest trade ever读起来晦涩一些,想搞明白要反复思考。难读的原因并非写作水平,而是基金公司的商业模式远比做空房地产市场复杂。长期资本交易所依赖的Black-Schole模型曾荣获诺贝尔经济学奖,交易中大量运用hedging和arbitrage,而Paulson取胜的关键...

读《赌金者》一书,竟耗去了一个半月。为里面的几个关键点环节深深感慨。读一个真实的具体的案例,远胜于读十本理论书。又感到作者罗格•洛温斯坦那孜孜不倦的钻研精神,打破沙煲纹到底的锲而不舍的精神,书里本着务求真实的精神,不妄加作者的主观臆想,而能把故事如同历史...

如果作者的理解是正确的,那LTCM的策略很简单,两面下注,得到一个波动很小的金融产品组合,再用财务杠杆放大,从而创造出“适合自己”,也就是满足“最多能输多少钱”的预期盈利最高的产品组合。理论上说,这种方法可以精确地调节风险水平,从而能对自己“量身定做”出合适的...

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...

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...
