[Marxism] The ruling class in the United States ofAmerica istheentire capitalist class!

[S. Artesian]

Les,

Entire "discipline" using algorithms to predict market movement, to detect 
anomalies in markets and establish arbitrage positions, to establish 
positions long and short, and hedge same.  The practitioners of this, many 
of whom have backgrounds in mathematics, including not a few Ph.Ds are 
called "quants."

Actually at the beginning of this crisis way back when Bear Stearns closed 2 
hedge funds, WSJ and FT were filled with articles about how the "quants" got 
it wrong.
