In this article you will meet the quant investor – author of two investment books which I am sure you will also find interesting.
The first one is called Quantitative Investing: Strategies to exploit stock market anomalies for all investors. The second one is The Lazy Fundamental Analyst: Applying quantitative techniques to fundamental stock analysis.
Both were written by the unknown (at least to me) author and quant investor called Fred Piard.
Behaviour can be modelled but not predicted
I really liked the following extract from his bio:
?As a software architect he knows that the things that work the best in the long term are the simplest.
As a consultant he experienced the real economy through various sectors: energy, banking, healthcare, manufacturing and public administration.
And he learned from marketing that human group behaviour can sometimes be modelled, but never predicted. ?
Fred’s books are on my list
I have not read Fred’s books yet but they are on my reading list, at the moment I am still working my way through another book you may like called Algorithms To Live By: The Computer Science of Human Decisions.
