The idea is that companies will write those policies if there's a robust futures market for hedging risk. "Real estate is bigger than the stock market," says Shiller.

Fendi CEO Michael Burke faced a similar dilemma when he took over the Roman-based brand in 2004.

...History hasn't been kind to losing international coaches. Georgetown's John Thompson won a bronze with college players at the '88 Olympics - and never made another Final Four. George Karl's cachet dropped after the '02 loss, and Larry Brown, the '04 Olympic coach, is currently out of work after his debacle of a season with the Knicks...
