that LTCM doc was fantastic. I expected at the start for Merton and Scholes to not want any part of it like I guess Meriwether did not, heh.

james_gsx, there are two LTCM books, When Genious Failed and Inventing Money. I read then both awhile back as the local library here had them. I think When Genious Failed is more popular. I don't remember much difference between them but its such a great story that I bothered to read the second book just incase. I dont remember what I read first. Just search Amazon for LTCM.

There is also a Fischer Black bio that looks really interesting but I've never read it, just browsed it at Borders.

Here is also an hour long interview with Richard Bookstaber who wrote Demon of Our Own Design:

Thank you very much. That was a great interview.
