The curious case of the disentangled debit

Abstract

Takes a humorous view, using Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson, in setting up a hypothetical case of derivative investigation by the two sleuths. Asks a few questions along the way and uses a figure to add emphasis to “the entangled equilibrium of principal and interest”. Cryptic clues abound in this with a good message for practitioners.
