A Shout-Out to Quant News
QuantNews.com
I just wanted to take a moment to give a shout-out to fellow aggregator Quant News (Twitter: @QuantNews_com).
QN makes for an excellent pairing with Quantocracy because they fill two key gaps in our mashup: academic papers and industry news. Neither has been the main focus of our site, but both are just important as the subjects we do cover. While academia can be more difficult to digest for some readers, it’s the foundation upon which many of the more practitioner-oriented articles that you find here are built.
QN is the brainchild of Greg Harris, who can also be found on his personal quant blog at GregHarris.info and on Twitter at @GFrankHarris.
I encourage the denizens of Quantocracy to integrate QN into their daily reading, and I look forward to big things from Greg in the months and years ahead.
Read on Readers!
