    Raj Gupta charged with insider trading. Just how far does the rot go?

        If you were in Canuckistan and earning Canadian Colored Money, would you invest in "currency neutral" US index funds or no?

          What rot? Board members are barely even part of the companies they serve.

            I live in a risk neutral world. If you believe that the Canadian dollar will appreciate further relative to the native currency of the equities in question then you should express this view with "currency neutral" funds; otherwise not.

                I just finished reading "Jimmy Stewart is dead" by Laurence Kotlikoff. Another one
                of the proposals to reform the banking system. Not bad...
                Not perfect, but more or less anything's better than the current system. Next up:
                a paper about the original Basel Accords. I want to read up on history of the accords.

                  With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

                      There is much to be said for living in the real world. You should try it.

                        Do/Did institutional investors pay attention to credit ratings on structured finance products? Or just do there own research?

                            Thank you. From you, that is a compliment.

                            I do love compliments. I could listen to them all day.

                              I love it when the hollow shells of people I've completely demolished follow me around for months/years and post their sad little responses. It reminds others "there but for the grace of God go I"...
