DJ, dont think for a minute that such naivete is rare among holders of advanced Economics degrees
I had a colleague at Staples with a Masters (MS) in Econ
he didnt know shit from shit about currency, bonds, and the international triangle of euro-yen-dollar balancing the world currency system
utterly amazing
I have a #3 guy in my current firm, a PhD in Econ
he said he didnt know anything about gold, nothing
great guys all

makes me conclude the same thing as Parks
advanced Economics training is perhaps 90% useless
it might constitute training in the advanced techniques of FINANCIAL INTERVENTION
