The integrated youtube videos are really nice in this page. I like this best as an introduction to music I haven't heard. I like Kevin Gates 2 Phones.

I heard a guy talking on Bloomberg radio this morning about this in regards to emerging markets bond investing. The interviewer was commenting that the legal system didn't provide good recourse in the event of default. The guy said lik

Difficult to comply with (aka expensive) regulations create a barrier of entry that helps these entrenched megabanks. Also, in finance, whenever regulations impede business, after some time bankers learn how to circumvent the regulations wi

Propaganda. It's a highly effective tool for manipulating public opinion by API. What do you think all of this talk about hacking the election is about? It wasn't just publishing private emails.

I like to publicly discuss my shortcomings. I try not to do it too much because I don't want everybody I work with to think I'm an idiot. Sometimes I use self deprecating humor. Sometimes I just act brave enough to ask stupid ques

It strikes me as an honest statement and if you were pitching me I would give you honesty points :-) But the problem you are dealing with is the problem in many questions here: these are complex financial instruments and most people don&#x2

It's not just the time spent studying, it's the right kind of studying. "Teaching to the test" so to speak. I liken it to my driver's ed class in high school. My teacher wasn't teaching us how to drive, he was

It's not possible to compute the false negative rate because once you turn down a candidate you get no more information. I suppose if people apply multiple times and are accepted later and then go on to do well on the job, you can coun

I believe that is rising sea levels. The sea is not a static thing with a constant level as seen from land. The local level rises and falls with weather conditions and tides. As the general level rises, you would expect land close to the sh

It's more than many other jobs. Everyone gets to work early. Many front office personnel get to work before 8 and the floor is mostly full by 830, but many people leave at 5 and most by 630. Most people eat lunch at their desk. There a
