Hentai Virus? Whoremuz straight? what are you on about lets roller blade after college  i got a new Walkman. 

You wake up from this fever dream, the year is 1998. a simple mean reversion prints you money. citadel wants you on their trading floor just because you know what bond yield curve means and some VBA.

Do time travelers take with them market history when they visit us? a time machine is the ultimate final form of alpha.

A desire stronger than finding any holy grail trading strategy...

- You and your girl share a first kiss to Aerosmith's new drop: "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing"

- A bachelor's degree and a failed interview = a job

- Spreads set wider than the smile on your face from pre-Dodd-Frank bonuses

- Everyone thinks alpha is a trade with positive P/L

- "Effective" management was holding the market portfolio

Phenomenal post.

1998, I was on my TV celebrating the first World Cup for the French soccer team! Yes, take me back there!
