In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan, armed with a reel-to-reel tape deck, snuck into John Lennon’s hotel room in Toronto and convinced John to do an interview about peace.

Portfolios from Sorts

I was in a quite interesting talk by Robert Almgren today. He is the Managing Director and Head of Quantitative Strategies of Bank of Amerika and holds a professorship in Courant institute, New York Univ.

I found the idea of utilizing qualitative information (a ranking particularly) , ie; no access to the expected return values, to achive Markowitz’ mean-variance optimality, striking. They also managed to show a computationally efficient solution with nonsmooth convex optimization. Backtesting results are very promising.

ruby.net

Ruby.NET is a compiler that translates Ruby source code into .NET intermediate code. This allows components implemented using the Ruby language to:

  • Natively execute on the .NET platform
  • Be linked with third party components developed using other .NET languages such as C#.
  • Utilize the extensive resources of the .NET platform including visual design and debugging tools, the security framework and an extensive collection of class libraries used, for example, to create Windows forms, web and database applications.
