Read When Genius Failed and other materials on LTCM and maybe you can join me in "La La Land" "The picture of Goldman Sachs painted by Lowenstein is perhaps the most significant aspect of the book. After reading it, and remembering the stories emerging from the Ashanti disaster of a year...

do you give credit to these bots when (if) you make money btw? or do you take the credit for that? [/B] Again, you are way off. Discussing arcane black box strategies and the shorting of volaility has nothing to do with the "boxes" that route my orders to Arca or Naz. I have no bias...
