  1. btw,

    anyone can reasonably assume that the insurance companies he owns are up to their neck in derivatives.


    how do they lay off risk otherwise?

  3. check out some of the convertible bond financing he has provided in the past. i think it was GS that he got like a 9% yield and made a fortune on the conversion.

    when i say opportunist, i mean it as a compliment.

  6. It is interesting that Greenspan said derivative is good. In particular, he said that banks did fairly well in 2000-04 despite of Enron, Worldcom, largely because of credit derivatives.


    Whom do you believe? Buffet or Greenspan?
