We should be able to give a good capsule description in our very first sentence[edit]

This isn't a huge sprawling topic that most educated persons already know something about.

Instead, this is a very specific topic that many educated persons have never heard of. I think we can achieve a good one-sentence summary. And if that's all many people want, they can read it and move on.

"Too Interconnected to Fail?" Stephen Slivinski, senior editor of Region Focus, quarterly publication of the Federal Reserve Branch of Richmond [Virginia], which is the 5th of 12 districts of the U.S. Federal Reserve system, Summer 2009.

I'm going to start with this reference. FriendlyRiverOtter (talk) 19:35, 19 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This quarterly publication is now called Econ Focus.

Tone[edit]

I question whether this article maintains an appropriate encyclopedic tone. The discussion of its founding almost reads like a novel, by announcing the name of particular characters and things they were up to prior to founding LTCM. The strategy discussion again sounds more like the thesis of a non-fiction book trying to make a point about LTCM than an encyclopedia ("main strategy," "basically place a bet," etc.). Ditto for the "brightest star" line. The aside about how fixed income arbitrage works. The "disconcerting note," 17% being "actually right at the average," I could go on and on with examples, but from start to finish this reads more like an article in a magazine than an encyclopedia.
