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.
