有興趣的人可以重讀NYTimes原文
They Tried to Outsmart Wall Street
聯合報這篇 半報導半感想式的文章 我實在看不太懂
看不太懂 為啥跟牛頓扯上關係
我倒是覺得原文比較有趣 列如最後一段
The problem is not that there are too many physicists on Wall Street, he said, but that there are not enough. A graduate, he told the young recruits, can make $75,000 to $250,000 a year as a quant but can also be fired if things go sour. He said an investment banker had told him that Wall Street was not looking for Ph.D.’s, but what he called “P.S.D.s — poor, smart and a deep desire to get rich.” |
