Well, John Paulson who topped that list is not dumb. He made a serious buck in 2007-2008 as well. Ditto Jim Simons and David Tepper. These guys are out of the box thinkers. -g- I think big WS behemoths and their greed brought us down. Money for nothing, chicks for free. Click click click. "Dangerous instruments" are very concentrated. I am not saying there are no more LTCMs out there - certainly, they do exist in great numbers, and many were in serious trouble. The "save" extended to multiple hedge funds as well, indirectly.
