I'm not trying to refute your maths but you might find this book very interesting: http://www.amazon.com/Zeroes-Misadventures-Decade-Street-Insane/dp/1591843294 http://www.amazon.com/Zeroes-Misadventures-Decade-Street-Ins... It's written by the guy who co-founded a magazine publishing company catering specifically to traders, then hedge fund managers and dealmakers. Inside is a lot of discussion about the top hedge fund people and how much money they were taking home (and spending) at the peak of the boom years. It makes for sobering reading even if you're of a 'well, it's a free country' bent like myself.

> I'm not trying to refute your maths this is hallucinatory deference to a notion that shouldn't have started to exist in the first place. It's a thinko. Like a typo, only worse. Are you refuting his axioms? Communitivity? No, you're arguing with not even his arithmetic, you're arguing with the choices of inputs to an accepted logic. In no sense of the general concept, are you arguing with his mathematics. This maths thing is a British thinko from the early 20th century that needs to go. http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/maths?q=maths http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/maths?q=maths /soapbox
