I didn't mean it in an insulting way. I'm actually starting a Masters/Ph.D. program in computational social sciences in the fall, hoping to fully immerse myself in an environment that also finds markets fascinating.

I have derived Black-Scholes; I study market micro-structure; I read as much as I can on anything related to social systems from volatility surfaces in options pricing to more generic machine learning methods such as PSO.

(I'd like to respond more, but I just noticed I am 20 minutes late for my fathers birthday party.)
