  • The Rise and Collapse of Long-Term Capital Management | LTCM

    The Rise and Collapse of Long-Term Capital Management | LTCM

    Long-Term Capital Management was one of the most celebrated hedge funds in financial history. Founded by legendary bond trader John Meriwether and advised by Nobel Memorial Prize-winning economists Robert C. Merton and Myron Scholes, LTCM generated extraordinary returns and reshaped how Wall Street thought about risk.

    But beneath the success was a highly leveraged strategy built on a single dangerous assumption: that markets would behave rationally. When financial crises erupted across global markets in 1998, that assumption failed catastrophically. Within months, LTCM's losses were so severe that the Federal Reserve Bank of New York organized a private-sector rescue to prevent a cascade of failures that threatened the stability of the global financial system.

    This episode examines the rise of Long-Term Capital Management, the risks concealed behind its sophisticated models, and why its collapse, engineered by some of the brightest minds in finance, remains one of the most instructive episodes in modern financial history.

  • The Hunt Brothers and the Silver Bubble

    The Hunt Brothers and the Silver Bubble
    Apr 17 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    In 1980, two Texas oil billionaires came closer than anyone in history to controlling the world's silver supply. Nelson Bunker Hunt and his brothers quietly accumulated billions in silver contracts across multiple continents — and for a brief moment, it worked. Then it all collapsed in a single day. This is the story of greed, leverage, and the day the silver market broke.
