Forbes article on LTCM (sorry if this has been posted already) A Solid Analysis Of The Long Term Capital Debacle: Archimedes On Wall Street by Robert Lenzner "John Meriwether seemed to have a magic touch. What he really had was nerve-wracking leverage. With $4.8 billion in capital, Meriwether controlled $160 billion in stocks and bonds, plus derivatives with a notional value of $1 trillion. That's 240-for-1. As we will explain, it got even worse than that." forbes.com
