Q&A: How can you tell a Quant from a Trader?
Two guys walk into a room and find a bag of cash under the table...
The first guy thinks: This is crazy. Anyone could walk in here and take this money.
The second guy says to himself: Cool. What's the worst thing that could happen if I just took this money?
Which guy is a Quant and which Trader?
The first guy is a Quant. By training he wouldn't think of taking the money if it wasn't compensation for hard labor and sweat. The second guy is a Trader. The situation is simply an opportunity with possible consequences.
