Wei 指出了虽然都是climber, 由于爬的地点、场合不同,风险的概率在攀登人群的分布不是平均分布。对于一个alpine/big wall climber, 他的风险概率比gym 老鼠大几个数量级。
但是BASE jump就不同,其风险的概率对所有参加的人/次而言差别不大。
talking about the wall street melt down, it is a global financial crisis manifested mainly in US. It affects countries in Europe as well. Iceland, the whole country just went bankrupt. Their national bank played the leverage of more than thirty.
Why did the leverage set so high? Because there was loads of cash floating around, waiting to be invested. Since the 1990s, with the surge of productivity in China and cash gained from oil-rich middle east, people want their money to be invested. The mortgage market was a buyer's market, no matter how shitty the mortgage, there were buyers lined up, for example, Bank of China. |
