A good book on the Hunt brothers is "Beyond Greed" ISBN 0-670-64497-8. I've read it a couple times. Favorite chapter is 9, "Nov 79 to Jan 80: Changing the Rules". A good skim through this book will help you understand the obstacles in cornering a market. Richard
That's right! And speaking of Nick Leeson (the man who caused the bankruptcy of the bank), he has his own web site: http://www.nickleeson.com I didn't realize there was a movie about the whole thing: http://www.nickleeson.com/rogue_trader_movie/index.html And he's selling a book about "Coping with Stress". From a guy who caused such a mess, sentenced to 6 1/2 years in prison, recovered from colon cancer, etc... I'd say, that's probably a good book! Richard
