The cry of the smart

"How the world works" alerted me to this story about an economic affairs reporter who inspite of his inside knowledge of the shennanigans on Wall Street just could not find his way out of involvement in not one but three crippling mortgages.

I know this is finger pointing but does'nt it look like a "proof story" for the thing I learnt from the scripture about how the intelligence of men is not a measure of how well they arrange their lives.
