Technical Bookstores

Considering that the London City Airport is very small, the collection of quant books inside (and even outside of) the departure lounge is enormous.Has anyone of you been to the Waterstones on Picadilly lately?Regards,Ola

Replacement cliquet

<t>HiI have seen a rather new product in the market that by some people is known as a replacement cliquet.It is a capital guaranteed note with monthly monitoring that gives you the accumulated returns at maturity (let's say 1,5 years).So far so familiar. However some of the best monthly returns (let...

London vs. Duffy

I would suggest (without having read any of them) that you buy the Duffy book.He is always online here and if something is unclear he is willing to help.

Life in Finland

<t>The thing is that there are less than 10 official strip clubs in Sweden. In my home town Malmö (the third biggest city) there were plans of setting up a topless bar but they did not get the alcohol licence (imagine a strip club offering coffee and cookies!!).Indeed, you need to keep your search f...

Life in Finland

By the way,since (from what I understand) the quality of chicks is your main or only criteria, I would suggest you head towards my old uni, Lund. It is a good, old and big one with loads of bloned Scandinavian chicks who are all crazy for quant wannabes like you.

Life in Finland

<t>There is a Swedish word for computer and that is "dator". I think you'll be able derive its origin.Due to the size of the language, Swedes always needed to learn other languages. For instance, all the foreign TV programs have subtitles.Before the Icelandic financial raids of late (Baughur, Kaupth...

Life in Finland

<t>Scandinavia is Denmark, Sweden and Norway. Iceland and Finland are included in the wider term "the Nordic countries". I don't know why but it might have something to do with the languages. Finnish has very little to do with other Nordic languages (even though Swedish is an official language and i...
