the panel of experts
spoke in learned lexicons
eager to evenly distribute
Gaussian gesticulations
I once struggled to
understand
I would crane my neck
strain my brain
to discern meaning
from these learned men
what was I seeking
to understand
from these crazy
white people?
The main point is
uncertainty
impossibility
of correct
correlation to
improbability
the rising risk
of being sure
VaR is trapped
by history
backward looking
exploring efficient frontiers
"misuse of VaR
is the misuse
of it"
huh
???
***
its my
mistaken
belief
that it is
a useful
indicator
placing
its value
at risk
such tautological inanity
comforts and soothes
Song Selection
