i am surprised no major fund has gone bankrupt in the last 18 months...could goldie or some like that be THAT stupid, to bet the 'rent and grocery $' ?? i never understood this derivative shit. i mean, i phoned a pension fund here once and asked them if they used derivatives. they do but you know they are careful, have a team, etc. i said, someones on the other end of that trade, they are careful and have a team too ! only one guy wins each trade, except the public loses because we end up paying the salaries of these delicate geniuses at the pension funds. i actually worked for one briefly, and they owned bre-x at the bitter end !!! i never understood why they paid the guy 100k when a silly clerk could have ordered index funds with the net proceeds.
