Once the "big kids" on Wall Street started playing with other people's money -- e.g., when the firms converted from private partnerships with their own money at risk to public corporations, it was only a matter of time.
It wasn't pure greed that killed them.
It was simple arrogance.
Or, as a wise sage once told me during the peak of the bull market, "they're like fat guys riding their bicycles downhill thinking they're going fast because they're good athletes."
