Seen threads on how to become a god in finance. Along the same lines, how does one become an economic powerhouse? The goals is to blow everyone's nips off with economic opinions and applications.

Economic opinions don't make you billions, conquering the markets make you billions.

Execution > Opinion

losing a nip is no joke

One of my econ professors showed us the first one, didn't know they made a second. Amazing.

Quant (ˈkwänt) n: An expert, someone who knows more and more about less and less until they know everything about nothing.
 

Unless you want to go into research - pls don’t be an “economic powerhouse”.

What you read in the FT/WSJ will be 10x more insightful and your firm will literally employ people to do this for you.
