I’m a proud member of SKEPP (Dutch-speaking Belgian Skeptics), and I work as a market risk manager in a bank in Brussels, Belgium. As Nassim N. Taleb has taught us, risk managers are in the business of predicting crises. I predicted that a crisis of unseen proportions would shatter the world on Dec 21, 2012. Unfortunately nothing happened. I correctly predicted the 2007-2008 financial crisis though, but failed to impress my manager.  That could have something to do with the fact that I made the prediction only in 2009. In an attempt to improve my track record, I recently switched to infinite variance models. My calculations now show that something very bad could happen sooner or later. What and when, I’m not sure, but when it does, I will not hesitate to take credit for the uncanny accuracy of my predictions, thereby demonstrating the supremacy of infinite variance models.

I have less than 250 friends. Not enough to be on Facebook. I’m mentally incapable of condensing my message into a few sentences, let alone 140 characters. No Twitter either. I got banned from eroticdating.com for reasons that are unimportant. The only way you can contact me is by sending me an email via the contact form below.
