Add to that lesson the question, how many hedge funds actually hedge their bets these days? Not too many in my estimation. They seem to bet heavy one way, and when that trade goes bad, they go under, like Amaranth did on natgas. They had 10 or 12 risk managers, who probably played golf with clients 5 days a week. And with this Madoff deal, they might be regulated into extinction.
