The “Jenga” scene from the movie The Big Short is a favorite of mine. The part of the scene that really cracks people up is where Ryan Gosling says “that’s my quant” when asked about how he could be so confident about the pitch he was making (yes, it is very racist).
Over the last several weeks, we had a lot of fun building a new quant model at InsideArbitrage and I asked several friends and investors to check out early versions of our model. Their valuable feedback and some tweaking on our end finally resulted in a model that I have a lot of confidence in and we rolled it out on our quotes page during the Thanksgiving weekend.
