Big hearings in Congress today about how evil derivatives and the quants
who build them are. They are a threat to government as we know it. Don't
tell anyone but the "intermediation of political risk" was one of the
greatest invention of the 1980s. Combine same with strong crypto and you
almost have to feel sorry for the public employees in our midst. Watch
out for a little downsizing.
To show that I'm a charitable guy, I have some free advice to anyone
reading this who is involved in "taking the King's shilling": I
understand that there is a bright future in computer maintenance
technology. A word to the wise....
