When the two Stanford Nobel Economics winners put together Long Term Capital and raised billions to do arbitrages, I thought I might read what they had to say on the subject.

Before I could get to reading their stuff though they had lost billions and caused some real financial panics in the late 90's.

I then decided I would just resign myself to the fact that I could never figure it out.
