I did a fairly comprehensive interview with the guys over at TradingMarkets.com. We discussed a lot of issues not usually covered in most interviews — quant analysis, probablity theory, uncertainty as the standard condition regarding the future.

    Hey Barry, I came back to delete my earlier comment of 1:00 pm, which was intended to provide the transcript. Please feel free to delete that one [ED: Done] and this one too. I wish you could provide us with the power to delete our comments. Probably in TBP 3.0?

  4. Barry Ritholtz Says:

    I’m not sure — all of these things are WP issues — and I’m still learning.

    And the book on Word press 2.0 wont be out until February, so I will just be toughing it out, learning as I go.

  5. Gabriel Says:

    I’m not sure about how WP allows the capability for a user to delete their own comment. I did a brief lookup but the following link is the only evidence I saw in some test comment, where WP seems to be able to allow that. But how, that is not turning up in searches.

    Good luck, it’s just one of those bells and whistles that would be nice to have in the future. Love the site, it’s getting there.
