Thanks for putting "the pirates" into context..My father, a simple uneducated farmer said .."there is something wrong with the system when a speculator on Hog belly futures makes more money than the farmer who grew them!" The test IMO is...does a transaction add value to a system whose goal should be to create liquidity for investment in productivity for human kind?....is this distorted thinking?

Worswick disappoints when he writes: The bankers involved in all these transactions were and are on the cutting edge of financial modeling. Their "mistakes" are like the first people who tested the first supersonic airplanes. A lot of them died. Oh, BARF! Gotta come down on side of J.McGowan's post* on this issue, vocex. (* McGowan's post: exchange2000.com ) Deifying stereo-lithography (3-D) multiplication of "financial modeling" is an insult to intelligence of equity investors let alone the memories of the supersonic pioneer pilots! Lost a LOT of points by showing your LTCM true colors. O/49r
