    WSJ article on Steve Cohen and SAC Capital Mgmt

    a PR job to help him justify to investors why he can handle more AUM (will make more long-term investments based on fundamental analysis). if you have done fundamental analysis and had to deal with the nitty gritty of fundamental analysis, you will know that this is complete bullshit. "He...

    The Real U.S. Deficit is in the Trillions

    not counting social security would be okay if the social security fund was intact like it should be. when companies report pension obligations in the liabilities section of the balance sheet, the number often nets out the cash in the pension fund. estimated pension liabilities - pension...

    If you want to be rich, first stop being so frightened

    is the person who wrote that a rich guy? i think for every 1 person who gets rich doing it that way, there are 20 others who get rich doing the exact opposite. cheat, don't work hard, mislead, take credit for other people's work, politics, etc.

    Phone interview with SIG

    My guess is questions like marbles: you have 2 red marbles and 8 white marbles. if you pick 1, what's probability it will be red? if you pick 2, what's probability both will be red? if you pick 2, what probability it will be red first and white second? if you pick 2, what's probability...

    Transition from IT -> Finance

    i would suggest that you go for an MBA as soon as you can to reposition yourself. you can use the on campus recruiting programs to make the transition. in my opinion that would be the best way. i am not sure about your specific circumstance, but it sounds like the BofA and hedge fund...

    SAC & Gradient Sued by Bioval - 60 minutes

    Nightmare on withdrawing your fund from IB ...continue

    i'm going to stick my nose in here since disappearing threads always catch my interest. can i assume that someone from the broker (IB) asked the board's administrator to delete the thread? what is the root cause of the customer's credit union not receiving the wire in the first place? a...
