Investor Jean-Philippe Bouchaud: ‘The whole bull run is because of an influx of money’
The physicist and hedge fund manager on why the efficient markets theory is ‘all wrong’, economists with ‘mathematics envy’ — and what Camus can teach us about compromise
www.ft.com
“That’s my main peeve about economists. They seem more interested in solving logical problems and aesthetic puzzles rather than a deep desire to understand what the real driving forces are.” #inelasticmarketshypothesis #blackscholes #influx #risk #volatility #efficientmarketshypothesis #Fama

政府高官は１８日、記者団に対し、「日本は核（兵器）を保有すべきだ」と発言した。日本を取り巻く安全保障環境が厳しさを増す中、独自の抑止力を強化する必要があるとの文脈で語った。一方、政治的コストが高く、国民的議論も熟していないことから、高市政権下での核政策見直しは「難しい」とも指摘した。

Disgusting. And I'd bet it's because the word "Gaza" is all over it.
BREAKING: The Democratic National Committee will NOT release its long-awaited autopsy on Trump's 2024 win. The report is completed but Dem leaders decided it could distract from their winning streak, so it will remain secret. Not good.
