Matt Levine makes sense of Wall Street like none other
Thoughts:<p>-I love reading Matt's stuff. The praise of his writing is totally deserving.<p>-In my daily life there's rarely a topic I come across that I'm unable to understand. In an otherwise boring day full of mundane work tasks, his column gives me intellectual challenges that I really appreciate.<p>-Matt's ability to understand and synthesize topics reflects incredibly highly on his intellect. I don't know anyone on Wall Street... is his level of intellect common among investment bankers and such there?<p>-He was valedictorian at Harvard and became a public high school teacher after!?<p>-Apparently MoneyStuff has 150,000 subscribers, the total income+power of which is gigantic (multiple billionaire readers along with presumably many thousands of high 6-7 figure readers). But yet they don't seem to do much at all of monetizing it (there's an easily bypassed Bloomberg paywall and a tiny ad in the text of the email newsletter).<p>-I would really love a weekly Matt Levine podcast. But sadly I don't think we'll ever get that.
