Hedge, It is well known that Hedge Funds are not as well regulated as they should be .... and I seriously doubt that LTCM was unique .... but then again, how will any of us really know. MB

Hi Hutch I know you are long now ..also sent your message to a couple of friends..(hope you tell me when you go short again :-) ) by the way did you hear the rumor that once LCTM realized it was in trouble..it added to its positions in a huge way so it would be too big to fail? I think you are a genius and your overview of the global markets is second to none..ps I don't think I am prejudice.. Just curious..why do people like Greenspan etc still look to gold as an indicator of inflation? Why isn't their global agreement on regulating size of leveraging positions? ps..(too big to fail or failure to succeed..I think you know the game too well and can't find any loophole in your thinking.. rats)
