The Ultimate Quant?

[AllIntensive]

Hi guys,

I was wondering, what makes the ultimate Quant? What would one have to study to be considered fully equipped to be very adept in the Quant world, specifically trading?

The best quants I know don't trade or even write code for trading. They do research and risk analytics.

To answer your question: Communication skills.

Math skills are cheap. People who can communicate complex ideas in simple terms are rare.

Is there anything like an ultimate quant???
I guess its a learning process all along...I guess an open mind and confidence are important though!!
