How to Save Greece Debt doesn't have to spell disaster. A solution to Europe's crisis exists—and it's worked before Greece is a chronic defaulter. Since winning independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1832, the nation has spent half its time in various stages of default or restructuring. At...

Hope it will be as interesting as last year. From the names that are attending, I can sense how exciting it will be. Is quantnet sponsoring this year? See you there:)

The second anniversary of the equity market bottom is a good time to take stock. Two years ago today the US’s S&P 500 closed at 676.5, its 2009 low, amid unrelieved gloom. In hindsight that was the moment to buy. But after returns of 96 per cent, the question is whether this bull market...

Innovation has always been on the daily “to do” list of every quantitative fund management firm that uses computer programs instead of mortal analysts to pick stocks and bonds. But after they were throttled by the stock market crash of 2008, quant shops ranging from behemoths like State Street...

Sweet Bob:)

Pay closer attention to Personal statement. That is provided you come with a good GPA and good grades on Math/Programming classes.

I feel that anyone in your shoes would have made the same decision. As a student representative of my class, I have to deal with many administrators that seem to over abuse the power their position gives them over other people. Of course, a student is a lot different than full-time faculty, but...

I know.. right??? what happened to usb drives?:) I'll ask for the code... take that with us to Toronto!

It is always the same issue. People don't want to deal with problems and leave them for the next one to fix. The US gov't has been employing the same strategy with its debt. Unfortunately, the greek problem could not be hidden anymore, but here in the US we can do something before its too late...

As Wall Street hangs on the question “Will Greece default?,” the author heads for riot-stricken Athens, and for the mysterious Vatopaidi monastery, which brought down the last government, laying bare the country’s economic insanity. But beyond a $1.2 trillion debt (roughly a quarter-million...

Thank you Andy:)

We will be there.... looking forward:)
