  • I'm gonna start off by talking about myself a little bit. I'm 16 years old and I'm a junior in a high school in the suburbs surrounding NYC (Long Island). I come from a working class family where we get by, but things can get pretty tight at times. I really have a strong interest...

  • I've been bombarded lately by people asking me if I feel fulfilled with my job in finance, or how it helps the general public... trying to compare what I "give back" to what a doctor provides to society. When my answer is "well, nothing really," they want to ask how I can...

    ''My Speech to the Finance Graduates'' - Shiller

There was much wailing and gnashing of teeth at the close on Friday over the perceived lack of performance in the Facebook IPO.
