http://www.vanityfair.com/business/features/2010/04/wall-street-excerpt-201004 An excerpt from Michael Lewis’ latest book: “The Big Short”. Michael Burry almost single handedly invented CDS contracts on mortgage backed securities. It’s a great read.
Already posted. A collegue of mine was supposed to meet with Michael back in like 2005 or something, but he just didn’t show.
