I am an economist, duly trained both in academia, and in that broader school of life. I am a 'rough around the edges' statistician. I have been coding since before formal exposure to either of those disciplines. I am a mathematician. None of these pursuits carry formal certifications relevant here.
I am a lawyer, trained at a top ten school, long ago and far away, it seems.

I_A_AL, but not your lawyer. I offer legal advice and formal
opinion only within the confines of a previously established
and explicit attorney-client relationship where privilege may
be had; and NEVER on a public list server.
----------------end disclaimers ------------------
I may own positions from time to time in entities mentioned, and while I will try to flag such, obviously times and holdings change, and I'll not be updating such enumerations. I am NOT your investment adviser, not licensed as such, offer merely opinion which I may or may not advocate (an economist and lawyer can and should be ready to argue any side of an issue; sort of like 'high school debate club', but no holds barred) and do not render any advice or recommendation as to such matters
And this fun one:
