The 20 Largest Trading Losses in History

supposedly this blog post was a list of trading losses, but when you add LTCM, Drexel and Peregrine, a better title would have been "bad things that people were unhappy about." LTCM's and Peregrine's losses were in no way unauthorized, they were just mistakes, and the causes of Drexel's collapse were rather complex and certainly not due to a single trader.
