Kenneth -- regarding ... Also explain how a bunch of nobel prize winners (small letters) so screwed up the hedge funds they lost billions of dollars ... Since hedging is a zero sum game, who got the money???

The current issue of Forbes (10/19/98, page 52) quotes Henry Kaufman (discussing LTCM) -- "There are two kinds of people who lose money : those who know nothing and those who know everything."

On your second question, believe it or not, I was one of the people who was literally "on the other side" of at least a minute portion of LTCM's trades. My interest rate futures trading has been going quite well lately.

Jon.
