second that
 
same here cfasuicide

this is the first time i've been introduced to the majority of the material in this curriculum and i find fi a lot more interesting than equities
 
yeah, i find it a lot more comprehensive. i struggle a lot with the equity, which i will be reviewing today along with quant once i stop procrastinating.
 
I read a book from Richard Bookstabber about Salomon brothers. Can't remember the name.
 
Yes. You'd think it was a book from the guy who wrote Da Vinci code with a cover like that (my memory is failing me this morning)
 
Hmm, that isn't the one I am thinking of. Liar's Poker is what I am thinking of.

That was a long time ago. When the events of that book were going on, I spent lots of time at Henry Kaufman's (chief economist of Salomon Bros) house. I talked about lots of academic things, played cards, drank beer, etc. Because his son was my lab partner in high school in the 1970's so he hung out in his basement.
 
Impressive Joey, you must have some stories! They were a crazy lot. Bond traders still are of course.
 
No the point is I don't - I spent all my time with his son. Those events happened forever ago.
