but all of griff's vast wealth has me because he's found a wa of managing risk with a mixture of matheticalision d brilliant intuition. it comes down having to make a judgme call. and good risk managers d good risk takers are individuals th have a history of ming good judgment calls pricing assets or contracts derivatives in the face uncertainty. and is that judgme, when you make it, somethg that is 99% mathematic algebra and 1% intuition? ors the intuition element, e unquantifiable element, bigger than that? so what i find is thateople who are really gooat this have great intuition, they have great instinct. their gut acally tells them something the mathematics are importt because they demonstrate you understand the problem. but ultimately, the decisi about whether or not take a given risk i think is rlly a human judgment cal in every sense of e word. the origs of hedging, appropriaty enough, are agricultural. for a farmer, nothin is more important than the fure price of his crop after it's been harvest and brought to market. but that could be higher or much lower than he expes. a futures
