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...
評分最近,迷上了德州扑克。网上玩玩不花钱,小赌怡情。但可怕的是,恍惚间突然觉得自己看透了这纸牌间的奥秘,若是再七拼八凑上各种半吊子所学:概率统计、决策博弈、周易塔罗,假以时日,想必定能练成横行江湖的必杀绝技。弹指间,樯橹灰飞烟灭! 但世上哪有那么爽的事儿?该输...
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...
評分清明节三天都在读这本书,以中国人的方式悼念长期资本管理公司。内容无可挑剔,翻译的语言也不晦涩。一路读来,发现不少有趣的事情。 1、做人要仗义:在拯救ltcm的整个过程中,只有贝尔斯登袖手旁观,结果,10年后遭报应了。据说,当其股价在60美元的时候,大量的人放空他到30...
評分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...

评分LGBT對對衝基金好奇的可以看這個。meriwether老兄的經曆說明一越有纔華的人越容易自負;二你倒黴一次可能緊接著會倒黴第二次甚至第三次。
评分LTCM死掉瞭,隻是曆史的必然,不要過分苛責該公司的每一個管理者(除瞭小羅特莫頓)
