"The Story of the CDO Market Meltdown: An Empirical Analysis." - http://www.hks.harvard.edu/m-rcbg/students/dunlop/2009-CDOme...

#5Just finished Big Short and it's good - like anything by Michael Lewis. It's the only thing I've read that completely tied together the hedge funds, the investment banks and AIG for me.

#6> Ah, the innocence of youth.
Ah, the smug certainty of a Wall Street Reporter. Let's not forget how miserably the WSJ (and all other media) have failed to pick up on the gross fiscal abuse on wall street. Some modesty would be in order here!
Besides, the student's suggestions are rather uncontroversial. She merely suggests that "to change wall street you have to change the incentives". How can any sensible person disagree with that?
The attitude that... "of course the people at Wall Street are going to screw everybody over for profit; what did you expect?" oozes from those last remarks. Urgh!

Weird. Wonder why my submission didn't get caught by the duplicate check? Looks like both have the same URLs.

I believe that there is a time limit on the duplicate check, that way items can be re-posted after some time has passed. I'd guess it's probably 30 days.

You were just ahead of your time (but only by a month, that's better than missing by centuries like some people).

#10You can read most of the Prologue to the book, which sort of ties this article together on Amazon -- http://www.amazon.com/Big-Short-Inside-Doomsday-Machine/dp/0...
