re: Ivy League Strikes Again - Colorado Supreme Court

[quote]Lots of govt regulation is blamed. U.S. colleges have more autonomy.[/quote]
I don't have an answer for why to be honest - people have come up with lots of reasons over the years.
But the private model works in the US because US graduates are incredibly loyal to their schools.

Been offered a role within Credit Research at a large long-only asset manager. Need advice
Posted by CAPEX on 12/2/23 at 4:40 pm
Firm has around $100 billion+ AUM.
I like Fixed Income as an asset class a lot but I've always been interested in Equities.
Would you say it's easy to transition from Credit Research to Equity Research after a few years?
What would you do in my position as someone who wants a role as an ...

[quote]It's going to be VERY tough to ever see an honest film about Napoleon. WAY too much of what we now consider "settled history" about him is the product of British historians, who, generally are biased.
Here's an example of what I'm talking about. Fact: Napoleon decided to crown himself Empe...

I find this data very interesting.
It seems like people have increased their fixed income exposure when most fixed income asset managers did terrible in 2019-2022.
