I'm in the ibanking risk technology space, and while I've never been in your position, I'd be happy to bounce some sales ideas back and forth my first concern would be: what do you offer over riskmetrics, that couldn't be a feature in a lar

i agree with this explanation - what will be interesting to watch is where these coders wind up: * hyper-secretive buy-side firms like SAC decide there's a labor opportunity, and these blogs are shut down in short order * some PG figure eme

I think you're saying the same thing, but I agree deathflute has stated the problem more clearly from a business perspective: the strategies do not scale, yet they need to reinvest proceeds into the business to remain competitive. the resul

Doing event-driven trading isolated in the Cayman Islands without any sort of insider connections is a recipe for failure. There are lots of high-frequency trading shops that could put your engineering chops to work, most of the shops are s

in politics relative merit is what gets things done (Hint: you can get around this by starting your own libertarian paradise on some uninhabited island, may I submit the name "jackassland" for your consideration)

although i appreciate your attempt at libertarianism, your logic is non-nonsensical: you attack regulation without offering an alternative or re-defining the problem

Ridiculously techno-centric comment. You cannot replace trust with a shell script. IT has the profound ability to tell us, with amazing detail, the state of the world today. But business planning is done based on the future, and that req
