Betting on Father Time

Death Derivatives Emerge From Longevity Risks. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS), Deutsche Bank AG (DBK) and JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM), which bundled and sold billions of dollars of mortgage loans, now want to help investors bet on people’s deaths. Your thoughts???

Goldman has been investing in and dealing viaticals for a long time. Look it up. This is nothing new.

People tend to think life is a race with other people. They don't realize that every moment they spend sprinting towards the finish line is a moment they lose permanently, and a moment closer to their death.

Yeah, but I'm having fun watching the GS haters go nuts.
