While I don't directly know anyone in that book, I know plenty of people who know people in the book. And I have even played Liar's Poker. (Once only. And lost. Badly.) And yes, I work in bonds. :-) Cheers, Ben PS Random industry saying. "The problem is that while bonds mature, bond traders don't." (Bond traders are always young. A bond reaches maturity when it is paid off.)
