Good points. I missed the hypocrisy about Lehmann. I suppose it is ok to be non-transparent outside the walls of the hedge fund office.

"Rules based trading" is a pretty wide ranging set of behavior I don't know where it says he is appalled that the gov't allowed Lehman to fail, but I think you need differentiate between his expectations of how a gov't will act with how his firm's trading algorithms tell them to act. You guys should concentrate about what you can learn from him rather than criticize him, would be more productive. You can learn something from a toddler, not to mention a statistically confirmed investing superstar. The "Principles" do make decent bathroom reading, not to live by but to make you think, if you believe in optimization you will appreciate some of the ideas. Then again,most people would rather work somewhere they can surf the web for at least 25% of their time at work, send emails to recruiters, work on their resumes, text front run trades from the floor to their buddies without being worried about cameras, and be generally much less than 100% accountable, which is all understandable.
