  3. King of Pop Michael Jackson has died

    It could simply be perfect timing, either MTV gave rise to Michael Jackson or the other way around. He emerged as the pop culture of <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags"...
  4. King of Pop Michael Jackson has died

    It's hard to come to consensus what talent is. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p> </o:p> But Michael Jackson had arguably the biggest brand power than anyone. He is globally recognizable and distinctive. Record sales and Emmys can attest the...

  15. Lehman Merrill Lynch AIG Fannie Freddie WaMu Madoff Citibank saga

    It's a daunting task to ask your star trader to account for his own risk? He probably will fire you before you even finish your sentence. At the end, if the trader is making big money for you, your greed will take over your fear sooner or later.
  16. Lehman Merrill Lynch AIG Fannie Freddie WaMu Madoff Citibank saga

    Time to give risk managers more power within the company... Unfortunately, risk managers' powers derive from fear. And fear often are short-lived...
  17. Balance between MFE and MBA

    From what I remember, the NYU MBA program will allow you to complete up to 15 credits at other divisions of the school, including Courant.

  23. Average salaries for quants

    Columbia probably should keep its students in the program than graduating them without job (or jobs with subpar conditions) and risk tarnishing the brand. I have strong impression that it is a school with very good students but a not so good career service...
  24. Average salaries for quants

    If product life cycle of quants repeats that of vehicle, it may tell us what will happen to quant salary. Vehicles started out as luxurious items. Demand overwhelmed supply and privileged group were paying premium for cars to stand out from the crowd. Ford then mass produced vehicles...
