Quote of the Day
"Quantitative investing is more intellectually interesting than a guy in suspenders calling his buddies for stock tips. It requires math, for one thing, but it also seems to require philosophy; you need a more deeply grounded view of how the world works to do systematic quantitative investing than you do to buy a stock on a takeover rumor."
(Matt Levine)
