It's important that investors learn about market history and have a basic understanding of math, but beyond that, less might actually be more.

However, the fact remains the economy remains strong, corporate profits are at record levels, unemployment is low, and interest rates remain at attractive levels despite nagging inflation ( see chart below ) and the removal of accommodative monetary policies by the Federal Reserve.

First of all, I think the amount of investors that participate in the financialmarkets is much smaller than it is in the U.S. And I think that the financial advisors are used, but not as widely used as they are in the U.S. And definitely, their retail market participation is significantly lower than you can see in the U.S.
Following the financial crisis and the Fed cutting rates, economy and the market starts recovering in late 2009 and then 2010 and we kept hearing from a lot of different value corners, hey, everything is richly priced. There’s old and there’s old but there’s not both. Bonds are the most expensive.
ANAT ADMATI, PROFESSOR OF FIANCE AND ECONOMICS, STANFORD GRADUATE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS: So, my journey starts where I took a lot of math. I was good in math and I love the math. So, I was kind of, in my romantic mind when I was in my early 20s, I was going to take but not give back to math, that kind of thing.
00:03:14 [Mike Greene] So that was actually an outgrowth from my experience coming out of Wharton and you mentioned the, the, you know, the transition of people who tended to be skilled at math or physics into finance. We ended up buying, this is one of the wonderful things about financialmarkets and degrees of completeness.
NADIG: So the reason is because, you know, when we look at how the corporate economy works, there are investments that you have to make. So as much as I’m personally still a pretty strong skeptic of active management, I mean, I understand the math, and the odds are not in your favor. It’s how math works.
I didn’t think I would be necessarily doing what I’m doing today, but I knew that I was gonna be interested in financialmarkets of some kind, and I think I probably ended up in the right place. I mean, if you take out the government spending, you probably are on a recession in a private economy.
I’m kind of in intrigued by the idea of philosophy and math. So I found myself getting kind of bored with my math problem sets, and then I could shift to philosophy and then go back and forth.

And I did a lot of options math, which I thought was interesting. ’cause these are companies and in some cases countries that were never really fully integrated into the global financial system. And so as the global financialmarkets were in a tailspin, they were actually very resilient. Makes sense.
So how Barry Ritholtz : Do you go from a PhD program to financial engineering masters? Jeffrey Sherman : Well, what it was was, so I, as I said, with applications, there’s many applications of math, and the usually obvious one is physics.
