Greg Grillot is an erstwhile 26-year-old philosophy student whose only similarity to Socrates is an utter lack of knowledge. Under the inimitable guidance of Dan Denning, Byron King, Mish, Chris Mayer, and Addison Wiggin, he hopes to learn enough about the markets and macroeconomics to actually say something meaningful someday. He enjoys jiu-jitsu, Russian literature and pitbulls. He rues the day he left his tree-trimming job for publishing as he has no time to think anymore.
