The amount of engineers that discover finance an the incredible, flawless, never-gonna-go-wrong-strategy of being short volatility and feel great about their results for a long time before blowing up their accounts never ceases to amaze me.

Not sure about the friend, but it happens to the best of us. Somebody on Wall Street has my money.

There some people may have gambling problem, or software has bugs, but it is another story..
