If You're Feeling Scholarly.....

Posted by Colin Doyle, March 24, 2010



Then you might want to take a look at this Harvard Undergrad Thesis by former student Anna Katherine Barnett Hart. (If you think her name is long just try reading her 116 page annalysis of the CDO market collapse.)

Hart's work was widely praised when it was submitted in March of 2009 when both the Dow & S&P where at their lowest levels of the credit crisis sell off.

Her thesis titled: The Story of the CDO Market Meltdown: An Empirical Analysis, was so well received and circulated that Michael Lewis, author of the classic Wall St. must-read, "Liar's Poker" (as well as a stack of other best-selling books), has acknowledged referencing her work for his new book "The Big Short: Inside The Doomsday Machine".

Thats right. One 22 year old kid, not even out of College, was better able to grasp what was happening at the time then most banks, hedge funds, and world governments.

Good Luck: HERE

Trade: Long Harvard. Short Yale.
