“Quant is another word for wild fucking guess with math”

Mike “Wags” Wagner of Axe Capital said on the Showtime television series Billions, on the episode “A Generation Too Late” that aired on April 8, 2018:
 
“Quant is another word for wild fucking guess with math.”
 
A “quant” (quantitative analyst) is a person who uses mathematical and statistical methods to solve problems in the field of finance. Wagner’s line became popular when it was published on the financial blog Zero Hedge on April 13, 2018.
