圖書描述

John Meriwether, a famously successful Wall Street trader, spent the 1980s as a partner at Salomon Brothers, establishing the best--and the brainiest--bond arbitrage group in the world. A mysterious and shy midwesterner, he knitted together a group of Ph.D.-certified arbitrageurs who rewarded him with filial devotion and fabulous profits. Then, in 1991, in the wake of a scandal involving one of his traders, Meriwether abruptly resigned. For two years, his fiercely loyal team--convinced that the chief had been unfairly victimized--plotted their boss's return. Then, in 1993, Meriwether made a historic offer. He gathered together his former disciples and a handful of supereconomists from academia and proposed that they become partners in a new hedge fund different from any Wall Street had ever seen. And so Long-Term Capital Management was born.

        In a decade that had seen the longest and most rewarding bull market in history, hedge funds were the ne plus ultra of investments: discreet, private clubs limited to those rich enough to pony up millions. They promised that the investors' money would be placed in a variety of trades simultaneously--a "hedging" strategy designed to minimize the possibility of loss. At Long-Term, Meriwether & Co. truly believed that their finely tuned computer models had tamed the genie of risk, and would allow them to bet on the future with near mathematical certainty. And thanks to their cast--which included a pair of future Nobel Prize winners--investors believed them.

        From the moment Long-Term opened their offices in posh Greenwich, Connecticut, miles from the pandemonium of Wall Street, it was clear that this would be a hedge fund apart from all others. Though they viewed the big Wall Street investment banks with disdain, so great was Long-Term's aura that these very banks lined up to provide the firm with financing, and on the very sweetest of terms. So self-certain were Long-Term's traders that they borrowed with little concern about the leverage. At first, Long-Term's models stayed on script, and this new gold standard in hedge funds boasted such incredible returns that private investors and even central banks clamored to invest more money. It seemed the geniuses in Greenwich couldn't lose.

        Four years later, when a default in Russia set off a global storm that Long-Term's models hadn't anticipated, its supposedly safe portfolios imploded. In five weeks, the professors went from mega-rich geniuses to discredited failures. With the firm about to go under, its staggering $100 billion balance sheet threatened to drag down markets around the world. At the eleventh hour, fearing that the financial system of the world was in peril, the Federal Reserve Bank hastily summoned Wall Street's leading banks to underwrite a bailout.

        Roger Lowenstein, the bestselling author of Buffett, captures Long-Term's roller-coaster ride in gripping detail. Drawing on confidential internal memos and interviews with dozens of key players, Lowenstein crafts a story that reads like a first-rate thriller from beginning to end. He explains not just how the fund made and lost its money, but what it was about the personalities of Long-Term's partners, the arrogance of their mathematical certainties, and the late-nineties culture of Wall Street that made it all possible.

        When Genius Failed is the cautionary financial tale of our time, the gripping saga of what happened when an elite group of investors believed they could actually deconstruct risk and use virtually limitless leverage to create limitless wealth. In Roger Lowenstein's hands, it is a brilliant tale peppered with fast money, vivid characters, and high drama.

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...

这本书英文原版2000年就有了,中文版06年又重版了。但不知为什么这本书在豆瓣上没有,于是我就加上了,顺便再写点推荐的文字。   推荐这本书基于两种推荐:其一,这本书作为书写一段历史——一个公司和一群人的历史是成功的,非常好读,还把事情描述得很清楚,把枯燥的...

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...

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...
