And worst of all, it brought about one of worlds most stupid TV shows. :whip:
Edit: Read it in German.
Have you read All Quiet On The Western Front? Now that's a great piece of work; probably one of my all time favourite books.

Hey, I'm working on something similar since a few months, basically several of my own quant models for analyzing and valuating large amounts of equities (also programmed with Excel/VBA). I will send you a PM with my msn and email, maybe we can talk a bit?

I have. I got that book as a present some years ago, and wasn't very enthusiastic about it at first. "Whoa, it's about the war. What do I care? It'll be boring as hell for sure." Something like that.
After I read just a few pages my mind changed quickly, I finished the book in a day and a half, and absolutely loved it. Not my all time favorite, but a great one for sure.
