Indeed. We need to thank HE Stanley and folks like him for that
splendid gift. Econophysics is not physics: Titles like
http://www.amazon.com/Quantitative-Finance-Physicists-Introduction-
Advanced/dp/product-description/012088464X
should read as 'Basic Finance for Physicists who could not find a
faculty job and want to join Wall Street'. If someone can draw
useful analogies with math used in physics, that's fine, but this is
not physics. Since there is a statistical interpretation of quantum
mechanics, some folks would be talking about QM in trading. There
seems to be no such discipline in physics that cannot be successfully
applied to trading:) I think the success of physicists who joined the
Street is related to their excellent education and smarts in creative
solving of complex problems, more than their particular knowledge of
e.g. QM.

This is unfortunate.
