October 1987
Section : Directions
October 2007
What's the worst that could happen? Twenty years ago, the City and Wall Street found out, when the stock market sank so precipitously in a single session that traders are still talking about it. Meanwhile, this past summer brought some of the most brutal scenes of mayhem and carnage since ~Natural Born Killers~. For many years, some of the financial industry’s top minds have been quietly hypothesising about, and secretly bracing for, a catastrophic occurrence or series of shockwaves, the trading world’s equivalent of the Big One — a series of economic shocks that would start, most likely, in the U.S., then spread to the U.K. and Europe with alarming speed. But how might it go down? We rounded up various intelligence providers — traders, PMs, risk managers, economists, and hedge-fund and bank executives — for a briefing on what’s keeping financial leaders up at night. Or what should be, anyway.
