Volatility, the new investment opportunity

[rich]

the Fnancial Times had a piece recently about wall street finding further
things to dice. one would've thought they've run out of things. well, that
opportunity is volatility itself. it's quite amazing to think about even
though I'm way out of my league i'm understanding it fully. it's no wonder
you need a PhD to work on the street.
Essentially, the markets are betting on entropy.
i may be misremembering but I thought there was someone in GR wondering and
cringing what if what we all fear (randomness souless randomness) gets
within the 'world system' we construct for survival (lame memory, sorry),
in essence becoming an integral part of that system for its further
existence. maybe be pointsman musing over slothrop's apparent gift.
