Looks like Hillary Clinton is starting to recover a bit

Unfortunately most of the city recruitment firms are either focused on back/middle office (compliance/accounting etc) or are interested in people with several years experience. I actually interviewed with one of the two firms that you mentioned but they needed hardcore quant people. In terms...

I'm a twenty-six year old student who is about to finish his PhD in Economic History at the LSE. I've had two internships at Investment Banks and I've written a column in the student newspaper on the stock market. I've traded my own PA with reasonable success (though I had to suspend my account...

Do you know of any good free newsletters that focus on fundamentals? I'm thinking of starting a weekly newsletter looking at geopolitical events and how they impact on Gold / Oil / and other commodities and I would like to look at what's already on the market. Note: I'm interested in serious...

Anyone want to predict the vote shares/order of the candidates in today's NH primary?

For all you GOPers who are depressed about the press attention surrounding Obama, here is something that should put it into perspective. http://thepoliticaltipster.wordpress.com/2008/01/07/why-a-mccain-vs-obama-contest-could-result-in-a-republican-landslide/

Hillary benefits from Edwards' campaign collapsing (though I don't think it will), since her poll ratings have been negatively correlated with JRE. (Obama and Edwards' poll ratings have a positive correlation implying that they do not share the same group of supporters).

The blind bio poll is one of the most pointless polls ever, imagine if you were asked the following question: "Candidate A worked as a family doctor delivering over 4,000 babies while candidate B has lobbied for various foreign countries and is onto his third marriage" - many people would...

Given that Ron Paul has absolutely no chance of winning New Hampshire you might be pleased to know that you can still make a virtually risk free 17% by shorting Ron Paul on Intrade. http://tiny.cc/JzBms

I'm 25 and I'm not having much success on getting a full time offer for next year despite being a PhD student at a top university and having done two internships at BB banks. I consider myself a good share picker and I believe that I have a good understanding of commodities/currencies. However...

Don't know if this belongs in the politics forum but does anyone here bet on current affairs/politics?

I once ran a regression of a shedload of variables on GDP. Most of it was what you woul expect with private ownership (in conjunction with strong antitrust policy), low tariffs and strong property rights the determinants of high GDP. However, I kept finding that there was actually no...

I'm a PhD student at a top British university and I am about to start the final year of my thesis. I've done two Front Office internships in BB Banks, but I've been dinged because I'm not 'personable' enough, though they both agreed my work was excellent. I've position traded my own account...

Coulter is an idiot. The Republican equivalent of Michael Moore and just as damaging to political debate.

Does anyone know any recent (ie post Vietnam) pro-war songs?

No obvious medical problems, I'm 150lbs and 5'10. I don't smoke (nor do I work in a smoky environment) and I do a fair bit of walking to and from work. However, my lung capacity is very low, I score crap on the bleep test and consequently I tend to reach a plateau with cardio very quickly and...

To be honest I can't understand how some people find any muscles on a chick attractive esp those in the photo above. Give me a Calista Flockhart / Esther Canadez / Katrina Campins type wench any day.

I'm not suprised that Gore's house runs on methane since quite a lot of hot air and bs comes from out the mouth of its owner.

McCain is the strongest Republican candidate. The problem is that a large number of evangelicals hate his guts (to the extent that they'd choose Romney or Giuliani) and that by trying to win them over he's ailenating his base. If I were him I'd just say what I think rather than try and pander to...

Given I like my wenches like I like my Rum I'd have to agree with you - though Jersey women come a close second.
