Leucadia bought Jeffries. However, longtine Jeffries CEO Richard Handler runs the show, so effectively Jeffries took control of the Leucadia assets and organization. ______ In the later years, the Leucadia portfolio was geared for an inflation ramp up that never came. Overall, the Leucadia...

Yes. Though correlation of bets and opportunity cost should be considered if the bets become meaningful to a bankroll. Fancy terms like expectation, variance and volume can be used in not overbetting but not overbetting (however one goes about it) is more important to long-term prospering than...
