Quote of the Day

"Markets remain gloomy. They are waiting anxiously for “the shoes to fall”, except it seems that the shoes are from Imelda Marcos’ collection."

-Satyajit Das, author of the brilliant and funny, "Traders, Guns, and Money: Knowns and Unknowns in the Dazzling World of Derivatives"

Quote of Yesteryear:
Me (in the business section of B&N): "I'm looking for a book by Das."
Hipster Clerk: "Ram Das?"
Me: "No, not frigging 'Be Here Now', its a book on derivatives. You should read it, we're all about to be nowhere."
