re: "Their model worked very well for the first couple years or so".....and then...."any semblance of control vanished".....and then....."near-disaster":

That is exactly the outcome that should be expected, in a highly leveraged model, run by very smart people who seriously overestimated their ability to predict the future.

That progression, and that model, describes what happened to LTCM...and what happened to a lot of tech companies in 1995-2001......and what is happening to the NAS.......and the global economy.
