We already have open-source financial analysis and financial models, and mathematicians do work in the industry. I'm unclear on what concrete changes you're actually proposing here that haven't already been implemented decades ago.

I'm raising the possibility of more work along these lines.

  1. Yes, but the idea may not have occurred to some of them, so pointing it out could be helpful. Even if very few are interested, sharing this information could be helpful at the margin (provided that this is a good idea, which I recognize may not be the case).

  2. Ok

  3. We're on the same page here.

  4. Good point.

  5. Ok

  6. Thanks, this is useful info.
