there is another cautionary tale of speculating on future outcomes. two noble prize winners in economics, started a hedge fund and investors saw it as a "safe bet", if you will, that they would get handsome returns...the end of the story, the hedge fund went broke. one can read about it in a book titled "when genius failed, the rise and fall of Long Term Capital".
