HEDGE HOGS
DREYFUSS, BARBARA T.
HEDGE HOGS - NEW YORY RANDOM HOUSE 2013 - 285 P. HARD
Going all in --
The man from Calgary --
Lone Star gambler --
A fund for everyone --
Amaranth --
Widow maker --
Pitching to grandma --
The $100 million man --
King of gas --
Paying the (inflated) tab --
"Gonna get our faces ripped off" --
Pump and dump --
$6 billion squeeze --
"You're done".
At its peak, hedge fund Amaranth Advisors LLC had more than $9 billion in assets. A few weeks later, it completely collapsed. The disaster was largely triggered by one man: hotshot trader Brian Hunter. His high-risk bets on natural gas prices bankrupted his firm and destroyed his career, while John Arnold, his rival at competitor fund Centaurus, emerged as the highest-paid trader on Wall Street. A riveting fly-on-the-wall account of the largest hedge fund collapse in history: a blistering tale of the recent past that explains our precarious present-- and may predict our future.
