“But it was effort and enthusiasm, just like getting the PhD berry. It's basically 99% perseverance, 1% intelligence. And this was like you get in there and there was just no rules. Like find something interesting and write about it. And so for me, you know, there's this database of information on hundreds of stocks and you could go in there and analyze it and reach conclusions always along the top market cap name and shirt these against it or do this or just kind of empirically test everything. And there was a bunch of incredibly brilliant people there. So I loved it. I loved the environment. And I didn't even know what I was getting into, to be honest with you.”

“You know, in those days, I finished my PhD in the late 90s. I had some buddies that seemed to be getting rich on Wall Street and I didn't really know what they were doing. And one of my best friends worked at Stanford Bernstein. And they were looking for somebody to write software and do analysis called quant research on equities. And I'd interviewed there and I loved it. There's a bunch of crazy wild people who were brilliant and kind of a little bit on the edge of being unhinged as human beings and it was just kind of my jam, you know. And so you're so butt.”

“You know, I think the big challenge is, as you know, because you're good at this, is taking things that are somewhat complicated and then making them sound like they're simple and explaining them to everybody. I think the average intellect of people watching and reading mainstream media is still in the junior high or early high school level. So that's what you've got to resonate with. And I romanticize the investment community is slightly above that, but it probably is less above that than you think. Right.”

“To any comply to anything. So, like, my PhD thesis was about missing data in a healthcare setting. But as you know, missing data exists everywhere, including in finance. So it turned out to be pretty applicable.”

“You know, that was more of the biostatistics department was in the School of Public Health at UNC, and it really applied statistics at that age to mostly medical data. But it was more about learning analytics and programming.”

“Yeah, well, back then, statistics wasn't as cool as it is now, Barry. So I didn't know 30 years ago I was going to turn into all the rage and that everyone kind of want to major in data science and analytics. I was always more of a math guy and I liked having problem sets and then going and playing sports and I didn't want to have to read Chaucer or whatever all the other miserable people were doing. So it kind of motivated me to be a little bit more analytical.”
