No internship. No job. No cool travel opportunities. Nothing.

Even worse, every time you check social media, you're confronted with pictures of your friends chilling with Mark Zuckerberg or saving humanity or traveling around the world in search of dope Instagram shots.

Life's a nightmare, right?

Well, don't freak out just yet. Читать дальше...

The investment world has a new haute couture.

"The 'House of Quant' has firmly established itself as the hedge fund industry's most fashionable strategy due to its high quality product," Credit Suisse said in a recent note to investor clients.

The note is being cute here, but what it is describing is a shift in the hedge fund world toward quant funds, or funds driven by computers and mathematical models, as opposed to those funds that are driven by human traders. Читать дальше...

Bad habits are hard to kick. 

That's what I recently realized as I reflected on my first year post-college graduation.

In fact, there is one habit in particular I suspect is keeping me from building wealth in the real world: I never say "no."

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told reporters Monday that Russia would provide "the most active" support to the Syrian army to keep the strategic city of Aleppo and the surrounding area from falling into the hands of "terrorists."

"What is happening in and around Aleppo now is what we had warned the Americans about beforehand — and they know it: that we will in the most active way support the Syrian army from the air not to allow the seizure of this territory by terrorists," Lavrov said.
