Think about it:
You can learn about geeky quantitative finance and geopolitics in the same sitting :-)

Joking aside, I love to shake hands with readers and address any questions/thoughts you might have on the markets and investing. I learn so much from interactions from readers and appreciate the opportunity to be in the discussion.
