FABLE #5: ROCKET SCIENCE
(Financial Engineering)
Everyone knows that if you want to attract squirrels all you have to do is set out a bird
feeder. It is far more difficult to get them to sit still for a seminar on risk management. Nevertheless, that is what the partners
at Rocket Science Squirrel LLP were attempting to do with the group of squirrels that they had attracted one afternoon in late August.
With
hoarding season in full swing and prudent squirrels everywhere (at least in northern states) very interested in burying nuts, seeds
and whatever else they thought would get them through the winter, RSS figured it was the right moment to make its pitch.
