Dem feinen Hinweis von Diplomand verdanke ich ein weiteres Lesevergnügen. Das Buch trägt den Subtitel:"A Novel About Financial Collapse".

Seite 106:

(Treffen eines Hegde Fonds Managers mit dem Präsidenten)

"You operate a hedge fund?"

"Yes, I do."

"How big?"

"Four billion."

"You lost it all?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. President, but it's a bit worse than that. We used considerable leverage."

"How big is your problem?"

"We'd like to help our customers, too."

"Let me tell you this. I don't give a shit about your clients who are wiped out. It's the poor bastards holding onto the other end of the bag. I mean, these gentlemen here at the banks and the brokerages that were stupid enough to finance you. How much did you bury them for?"

"I believe we've got six billion dollars that will be defaulting on soon."

"What have you assholes been doing up there in New York? This is the worst circle jerk in history."

(Fed Chairman unterbricht):

"Mr. Schuyler also has knowledge of several other struggling hedge funds with similar problems."

"What do your guys do, sleep in the same bed? One of you makes a move and the rest follows. Damned bunch of lemmings."

"Yes, sir. As it stands now, I have two hedge fund operators that stay in close touch with me. One in Miami is out two billion, but owes four billion. The other in Boston has a little more than that. Around five billion they told me."

"A billion here, a billion there, pretty soon you're talking about real money."

Yes, sir."


Ich bitte die Schlüsselworte"leverage","bag","wiped out","similar problems","stupid","lemmings" und"real money" nicht zu überlesen."Circle jerk" = Rundumschlag, auch nett, gell!
