FYI: It was about three hours into the excellent “Democratizing Quant” conference this spring where I lost my mind.
I don’t mean I was upset or anything. Far from it. The annual micro-conference co-hosted by Wes Grey of Alpha Architect and Villanova University was fantastic. Academics and practitioners from all over the globe presented some truly next-level thinking about how financial markets work. I was riveted the whole time.
No, I lost my mind as in, gray matter started running from my ears and I could no longer process human language effectively. Such was the depth of some of the math casually tossed up on the projector.
