Wall Streeters, however, offer a counterargument: for any financial institution to, say, bet on the decline of the dollar against the yuan over the next five years in a serious, leveraged way is to put its survival at risk should the trades go wrong. And trades do go wrong: remember the collapse of Long-Term Capital Management.
华尔街的朋友们却提出了相反的论调：如果任何金融机构很认真地，甚至举债来赌未来5年内美元与人民币之比会大幅度下降，那么，一旦交易出了问题，该机构就会面临生存危机。而交易确实出了问题：别忘了美国长期资本管理公司的倒闭。
