By Larry Doyle on October 10, 2009 at 12:05 AM in Current Affairs

The October 11th program is concluded. Listen to the archived show

Please join me tonight from 8-9pm EDT for my weekly radio program No Quarter Radio’s Sense on Cents with Larry Doyle. This show is an extension of my regular work at Sense on Cents where I attempt to provide insightful analysis and perspectives on the markets, economy, Wall Street, Washington, and global finance all in hopes of helping you more effectively ‘navigate the economic landscape.’

This week we will go “Inside the Black Box” with Rishi Narang, author of this insightful book which provides ‘the simple truth about quantitative trading.’

In addition to having recently released this fabulous book, Rishi is the founding principal of Telesis Capital LLC, which invests in quantitative trading strategies. From 2002 to 2005, Rishi was a managing director and co-portfolio manager at Santa Barbara Alpha Strategies. Rishi was president and vice-chairman of Tradeworx, Inc., a quantitative hedge fund manager from 1999-2002. He has been involved in the hedge fund industry with a focus on quantitative trading strategies since 1996. He graduated from the University of California at Berkeley with a BA in economics.

We will not only bring you ‘inside the black box’ but we will make sure you get out of the box, as well. In going in and out of the black box, we will address how and why this business has grown by leaps and bounds on Wall Street. What are the secrets of successful quant trading? What are the pitfalls? What caused some of the disasters in quant trading? How have quants factored into the recent credit crisis? What is the future of this business?

Your host, as a former trader although certainly not a quant, looks forward to having a riveting discussion with Rishi Narang who has provided real transparency into this generally perceived dark corner of the market. Please join me this Sunday evening from 8-9pm as we take this episode of No Quarter Radio’s Sense on Cents with Larry Doyle “Inside the Black Box.”
