Mike,

I recently read the autobiography of Robert Merton on the Nobel Prize website and noticed that he and Myron Scholes set up an open-end fund, Money Market/Options Investment Inc., along 90/10 lines in 1976 which wasn't a commercial success.

He moved on to Long-Term Capital Management in the 1990s, and given the fate of that firm would probably agree that switching from 90/10 to 0.01/99.99 was a big mistake. <g>

John
