    He tried to isolate cause and effect. In a closed system, like a lab, this is possible for very simple things only.

    I listen to the quants guys at work, re working their financial models based on their guesses if the residual fears American's will have based on Orlando, current immigration, Saudi ownership vs Chinese ownership of US debt, and how that will impact the price of Russian crude oil.

    These guys are all over the place.
    Being a quant has to be one of the oddest professions. They study a ton of math and statistical analysis but in the end it seems like they are just spinning their wheels when it comes to using those models to make accurate predictions.

    Or so it appears to me looking at it from the outside.

      I agree completely, but since they paired them with psychologists and behaviorialists, they are guessing better than they used to.

      Their models are always changing. Mental circle jerking!
