Poker at Princeton

I was very bullish on this assignment for Princeton Alumni Weekly. The story addresses how playing poker can help prepare you for a job on Wall Street. Mastering this game involves math skills, understanding  quantitative reasoning and psychology, and having the ability to manage risk. These tools are all valuable for working in the securities industry. Below are some ideas for this story.

A special thanks to art director Marianne Nelson for another fun project!

Emergency Funds

This piece from today's Wall Street Journal addresses where you should stash your emergency funds.  Financial experts recommend that you keep three to six months worth of savings on hand in case of a catastrophic event. One new study suggests that you may be better off investing this money, as opposed to holding it as cash. The article, which you can read here, looks at the pros and cons of using emergency funds in this manner.  Thanks to Orlie Kraus and Sheryl Dermawan for another fun assignment (which I was very bullish on).

I always try to supply the Wall Street Journal editors with a variety of solutions....
