The story of sub-prime and more from the guy who brought you Liar's Poker; a fun read, educational but not heavy. You can compare it to the precious metals in that the derivitives mess was seen a long way off and is just recently blowing up. So too, the pm's future is written in stone and will come about, though some may think it's been too long getting here. I discovered the gold bull in May 2001 and took my first plunge in Feb 2002. Every year I thought would be the year. It will come.
