In some instances, clients allege Mr. Liu engaged in this strategy without informing them or seeking their permission.<\/p>\n<p>None of the clients were told it was \u201ca high-risk, speculative strategy\u201d that was inconsistent with their low-risk investment objectives, the suit alleges.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Shorting governments is similar in investment characteristics to taking a mortgage &#8230; see <a href=\"http:\/\/prefblog.com\/?p=40954#comment-195748\">this comment and my answer<\/a> which refers back to <a href=\"http:\/\/prefblog.com\/?p=5159#comment-22487\">this old comment and my answer<\/a>. One of the risks I didn&#8217;t mention was price risk &#8211; the risk that the market values of the two sides of the position could move against you. Unless something else goes wrong, this shouldn&#8217;t hurt a long-term investor &#8230; but what were the investors in this strategy told?<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, we get down to the same old question: just what the hell does &#8220;risk&#8221; mean, anyway?<\/p>\n<table border='1'>\n<tr>\n<td colspan='8'><strong>HIMIPref&trade; Preferred Indices<br \/>These values reflect the December 2008 revision
