<Fisher WAS smart. Has a couple of basic economic principles named after him - which is more than most of his detractors can say about themselves. > Actually no... lot's of his detractors can say that they DIDNT blow up a hedge fund. <I guess it makes little people who will never be famous feel better because they can dump on a famous person who was wrong sometimes?> Actually the private hedge fund I started with had essay questions as part of our rigourous training program asking "whats wrong with this"... about many papers written by the likes of E.Fama, French, Fisher, etc. on topics like portfolio insurance. Getting published may or may not mean anything IMO. DAK

Instead of trying to become a lawyer, you should consider becoming a psychotherapist -- this is really a brilliant insult, and I wouldn't have even known you were dishing out a slug except a smarter person pointed it out to me: "I guess it makes little people who will never be famous feel better because they can dump on a famous person who was wrong sometimes?" Ouch! Oh, that's me; and you took away the big esteem boost I had been experiencing.
