✋🏼 Galactic high five!

In Webb’s image of Stephan’s Quintet, we see 5 galaxies, 4 of which interact. (The left galaxy is in the foreground!) Webb will revolutionize our knowledge of star formation & gas interactions in these galaxies: https://t.co/tlougFWg8B #UnfoldTheUniverse

1/Jim Simons rarely does interviews that end up in the public domain, but a new one was just posted. https://t.co/gVXVhKZub3 Highlights below:

As the @propublica crew looked through tax data of America’s ultrarich, we noticed Jeff Yass, a finance deca-billionaire and major TikTok investor.

Many on Wall Street are good at avoiding taxes. But Yass is in a league of his own.

This is a fabulous interview Ken Griffin did a few days ago - I highly recommend you watch it in its entirety.

I could write 6 months worth of Front Month posts from the stuff he references in this 50 min appearance:

Susquehanna is the #1 or #2 options & ETF market maker globally, owns 15% of TikTok, yet has managed to stay out of the public spotlight for decades.

I dig into the firm's founders & origins in this week's post.

Thanks for reading!

Sharpe Ratio is not just wrong, it's offensive.

With volatility as its denominator, it penalizes upside vol.

Literally, the greater the convex payoff, the worse the Sharpe.

It's one thing to just be a faulty metric, but quite another for the metric itself to be short vol.

If it were real, I would totally watch this movie.

This is the crap Hollywood is throwing at us now. I can’t fucking believe this.

[Sean McClure @sean_a_mcclure]

Never correct someone's grammar if you understood what they meant. Verbalism doesn't increase the information content of a message. The academic exercise of judging one's form of expression is a clear mark of a non-doer.
