Nassim Taleb: Trump won’t do anything apocolyptic | CNBC 11/5/16
Nassim Taleb, distinguished scientific advisor at Universa, “The Black Swan” and “Antifragile” author, weighs in on the 2016 election and the potential market reaction to either candidate.
Randomness of Correlation
This tutorial presents the intuitions of the randomness of sample correlation (spurious correlation) and the methodologies in derivations.
Some later sections are somewhat technical as rederived an old equation with more precise functions (in order to apply to fat tails) and showed the distribution of the maximum of d variables with n points per variable.
This paves the way to the real scientific work on random matric theory under fat tails and failure of Marchenko-Pastur.

Black Swan’s Taleb: Donald Trump ‘brilliant salesperson’
The European Union is doomed to fail, “Black Swan” author Nassim Nicholas Taleb said Thursday.
He told CNBC’s “Power Lunch” the EU has become a “metastatic and rather incompetent bureaucracy” that is too intrusive.
“The way they’ve been building it top down from Brussels is doomed to fail. This is 2016. They are still thinking 1950 economics,” said Taleb, who is also the author of “Antifragile” and is an advisor to Universa Investments.
Taleb has warned about an EU breakup for some time, calling it a horrible, stupid project back in 2012.
