Derivate![]() |
"The business world is more complex today than it was 30 years ago. Most large companies have global businesses. The capital markets have become much more sophisticated as risk levels have risen due to a international monetary system that is no longer fixed and anchored to gold. Besides business risk, companies that operate internationally face interest rate and currency risk. This has led to an explosion in the use of derivatives as a means of hedging against that risk. Yet, the use of derivatives to hedge against risk has become an oxymoron. The very risk they were designed to hedge against has created even greater risk in the financial system. LTCM and Enron are recent examples of what happens when risk strategies turn to speculation. The pressure of competition and the need to perform has led many companies to become less than frank in reporting their financial results. Management often takes advantage of loose accounting rules to massage their numbers in efforts to beat estimates and drive the price of the stock of the enterprises they manage." |
