Valuentum Exclusive Yearly Round Up
"I want finance to learn from the past, the quantitative mistakes of yesteryear that brought the world economy to its knees. The misaligned incentives that created a massive bubble and subsequent housing market crash. The problems of leverage in yet another quant hedge fund Long Term Capital Management that caused panic in the late 1990s.

Stay diversified, and most of all, do your own due diligence." -- President of Investment Research, Brian Nelson, CFA

It means the world to us to let you know that Microsoft’s stock has now surpassed $100 per share!
