...Hedge funds restrict themselves to extremely wealthy investors who understand the risks involved and who can hypothetically absorb occasional big losses. In return, the industry has largely been exempted from the regulatory and disclosure requirements imposed on more common mutual funds. But hedge funds haven't just been the domain of the ultra-rich. Other pools of wealth, including university endowments and public pension funds, have put their money in so-called funds of hedge funds, which spread risk by investing in a portfolio of hedge funds and hence are considered safer.

I've also made a decision-making protocol based on these two. There is a domain in which we can measure the unknown, provided the large deviation doesn't play a big role. What we have at this crisis is a conjunction of what I've feared the most - namely, a very large deviation, very large exposure and very high measurement error. We're talking about someone...
