Seriously, dude, thank you... I was starting to doubt my own sanity.

It just has to be some sort of a grand joke, surely?

No this guy believes it, actually he would make a perfect fund manager, LOL!

Wouldn't it be great if it was Wolinsky Atticus CTA?

:p

No, my first employee was my favorite Math Professor who is a PhD in Topology with Stanford pedigree. He worked on hedging a swaps portfolio with proposals he had prepared for 2 years just for them not to do it, then left.

Huh? Did you pay him from the CC cash advance? Left where? Stanford's swap dept.? What do Riemannian manifolds have to do with swaps?
 
Quote from atticus:
Perhaps he meant to state capital structure arbitrage, but I doubt he's trading corporate debt/equity.

The man's a mystery wrapped in an enigma. I think what he does is simply beyond the ken of puny minds like ours and we should just accept it. I know I have.

I dunno... Maybe before 2008, but not these days.
 
Lets face it if you covered es above 1300 you are looking pretty smart right now. You know that some percentage of fund managers did by skill or luck, and that's the problem its pretty hard to say which is which, was Bill Miller lucky or skilled for example. He shows a great track record over a long time period and got crushed in 08. I don't worry about this too much as the universe is expanding!

Well if riemannian manifolds are of interest to you I've seen the core of the sun and it is completely described by the mathematics of a moebius strip rapping itself around its atoms and creating plasma, neutrinos, and other particles of superheated combustion. The visual description looks like a lasso that can never stop tangling itself, and this is key to any advancements we're going to make in nuclear physics, especially turning fusion into the energy source most think it can be.

I went to Centre to study physics, and came out with financial economics. I had already figured out how to create a fusion core, and one of my classmates designed a space cruiser who now works at NASA doing that. As far as space and time travel, the only thing my advisor in the physics major said was he only needed a few months to do it, and it ended with a senior independent study for him and his student.

The kid who did that was a genius, and I was in his same class. Again, he's at NASA, any questions?

My most significant research project was a 40 variable econometric analysis using the BLS datasets referenced in the book <u>The Bell Curve</u> by Hernstein and Murray.

1 percentage point higher in ASVAB percentiles is worth $250-$265 per percentage point of annual income when you're age 40 where the datasets stopped collecting info and had over 12,000 points with these variables. I'm trying to get my professor for that class to forward that project to me.

Yes, I can understand "capital management". But how can you arbitrage "capital management"? I could see "capital management and arbitrage", even though "arbitrage" is an overly abused term that's normally applied indiscriminately to things that aren't, but not the term you use.

I have no doubt that you will be a WCTC champion. I wish you the best of luck, although I am sure you don't need it!

What does "with Stanford pedigree" mean?

And how the heck do you work on hedging a swaps portfolio for 2 friggin' years? Speaking from first-hand personal experience, if all I had was Excel and started from scratch, it would take me a couple of days to figure out how to hedge a swap portfolio with any number of line items. How in god's name can you spend 2 years working on hedging a book of swaps? In 2 years, the risk you're supposed to be hedging will be completely different.

Come on, mate, you can't just use random finance terminology like this. This isn't the sort of behaviour that befits a WCTC Champion.

You use capital management to arbitrage, and that's how I'm using it.

Stanford pedigree means his PhD was from Stanford.

Trust me listening to his story about the dumb overleveraged 24 year old taking otc swaption positions to lose ABN Amro over $50 million. It was a bond math question, and they took all this time, trained him, put him through level I of the CFA curriculum, and he quit as soon as they stopped trying to figure out a way to unwind those losses. There was a lot of smile problems and convexity in the discussion, so I don't want to bore you.
