Rudyard Kipling’s book “The Man Who Would Be King” made into a flick with Sean Connery has some huge lessons on the difference between ‘Authority and Leadership’. I heartily reco this movie. My own takeaways

Active Equity Management provides a comprehensive understanding of technical, fundamental, and economic signals used in equities trading. It explores in detail how such signals may be created, rigorously tested and successfully implemented. Filled with practitioner insights derived from years of experience in the hedge fund industry, and supported with academic theory, Active Equity Management provides an in-depth review of basic financial concepts, examines data sources useful for equities trading, and delves into popular seasonal effects and market indicators. It also highlights best practices in model development, portfolio construction, risk management, and execution. In combining topical thinking with the latest trends, research, and quantitative frameworks, Active Equity Management will help both the novice and the veteran practitioner understand the exciting world of equities trading.

Reviewing a gr8 flick from the 70s. The Man Who Would Be King. Very relevant to those drunk on power

Recommending a gr8 flick whose lessons are very relevant for our times too: The Fog of War: Eleven Lessons from the Life of Robert S. McNamara
