I’m very excited for the future in-depth dives on bonds and rates in general! As they are some of my favorite assets. Thank you again for sharing another great education resource (AQR). I have a quick question, you mentioned you have an excel sheet with market data. I have been trying to figure out how to do this in an automatic way as I’m sure you can imagine copying every days new SOFR rates it’s rather tedious, so far I have tried APIs with no luck although I might just be using them wrong. Any tips on this front would be greatly appreciated!
for research papers do you read the whole paper or just skip to conclusions? I think i've seen you talk about how to read research papers before but I can't find where.
Depends on what you are trying to accomplish and how much comprehension you can get from the paper given its complexity. Reading the intro and conslusion is a good start. Then you can decide if you want to read more from there. Remember, your not read it to say you read the paper. your reading it for action. So do what is needed for your goal and move on. There are so many books and papers. They are there for your mind to be refined, your not there for them. If you just keep those principles at the forefront of your mind, everything will fall into place.

I only use excel for economic data. You should be able to pull data from tradingview or yahoo finance. You can def build a lot of stuff on tv
Thank you 🫡and yeah TV is a really good resource for developing models imo
