Nailed a quant job at a hedge fund!

Quote from sjfan:

let's see, each top econ/finance program graduates about 2-3 phd a year, and maybe 1 every few years will join the industry rather than do research in academia -

And after several months on a new job he was amazed he got, he took over for his boss and is ready to fire SEVERAL of these hard to get top-level Ph.D.'s

The putzes always expose themselves when people start asking serious questions. This is what he has on his desk, to remind himself of his role each day

Long last working day of the year, I was planning to take vacation at Hawaii, but the top dog thinks I should spend some time at Dubai.

Imagine a beautiful attractive young lady standing at the tallest building of the world with golden performance (YTD > 100%) - that's me

Can you explain this joke to me? I don't mind a good chuckle at my expense if it means that I at least get a good laugh out of it. So you described a bubble (which is me, apparently) that eventually... busts... and then promptly informs that it's not gold....

Btw, if you got more ivy educated phd quants, send them to me - I'm always in the mood to expand my quant team (let's see, each top econ/finance program graduates about 2-3 phd a year, and maybe 1 every few years will join the industry rather than do research in academia - so yeah, I'm happy to lift your offer).

Answer: The Ph.Ds and their financial models are the rotten fish in the can.

Long gold.
 
Performance! Performance! Performance! you stupid. Check long/short hedge fund index from WSJ, Barron. That's the Ph.D. work of this year and what did they work on for last few years? MBS, CDO...


BTW, don't attach your personal photo next time. People will recognize you in public...

Quote from Informed:

That was a joke, I am simply telling people to buy gold @1050 because the game has changed. I wonder if you know anything about trading futures. And I told you what another central banks might be doing simply means short the dollar. If you could not figure out what am saying, you are loser.

so far these calls have been spot on. CSX too.

haha I still think the shit-tossing at the beginning of this thread is the best part though.
