Example text
Indd 09/11/2014 Page 46 FINANCIAL MARKETS practised aggressive trading and who, at 45 years of age, found themselves jobless and without savings because they were fully invested in their banks’ shares: Lehman Brothers workers, for example. They believed they had saved enough to last them the rest of their lives, and yet in a few days they had lost everything. I knew many of them. When Lehman Brothers collapsed, the financial world realised that the warnings from many investors on the excessive debt of the banks were not “hedge fund fantasies”, that the statements by Lehman’s to the effect that “it was only the result of some naked short-selling attacks”8 were wrong and that those who for years had been warning of the balance sheet and mortgage risk were not killjoys; they were right.
The media speaks of the “real economy”, as if the financial economy was not an essential element of the growth of world commerce and of the globalisation that we all enjoy and criticise in equal measure. We still don’t value liquidity, access to capital and interconnectedness. They are taken for granted. They exist as if by magic. The market does not attack, it defends itself, because it seeks to protect its currency and preserve its capital, in the face of a global policy of “financial repression”.
In Europe, it is not. Banks play an essential role in a market driven by the perception of growth and prosperity. The market simply reflects that human nature of which we spoke earlier, regardless of whether we see things from the point of view of the sellers or intermediaries. So I find it hilarious when people speak of “attacks” by the market. More than 67% of the funds under management are exclusively “longonly”, so they only enter the market as buyers. And in hedge funds, which we will analyse later, the average net long exposure (bullish) rarely goes below 30% of total funds.
