Very Interesting....

Well the article is some what pedestrian for someone of your knowledge in the LTCM world. And the article was light on hard facts.

However, I know from conversations that a number of insurance companies were/are highly leveraged and getting themselves in trouble with the quality of advice. In some cases the officers actually didn't know the extent of involvement.

This conversation was a year ago. Maybe today they understand the risks better with LTCM and Frankel.

Is the rumor true Henry...Did you party with Martin?

What was LTCM's actual max leverage? I thought it was something like 20-to-1, while most other similar hedge funds are 10-to-1 and most commercial banks are also 10-to-1.
