Myron Scholes's Birth Card: The Ace of Spades

In the record

The Ace of Spades coordinate

Myron Scholes's birthday maps to the Ace of Spades (The Truth Pioneer). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day), and the year is unused. It is not a prediction about a Nobel Prize and not a verdict on Myron Scholes. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You say the true thing early, before it has to become a crisis to be heard.

Myron Scholes in the public record

Scholes is the Frank E. Buck Professor of Finance, Emeritus, at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, Nobel Laureate in Economic Sciences, and co-originator of the Black–Scholes options pricing model. This mathematical model, developed with Fischer Black, revolutionized finance by providing a systematic way to value options through the elimination of risk via dynamic hedging. In 1997, Scholes was awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences (shared with Robert C. Merton) for a "new method to determine the value of derivatives." The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences noted that their work made it possible to observe the value of options in a scientific manner, effectively creating a foundation for the rapid growth of financial markets and the management of economic risk across the globe. Scholes is currently the Chief Investment Strategist at Janus Henderson. Previously he served as the chairman of Platinum Grove Asset Management and on the Dimensional Fund Advisors board of directors, American Century Mutual Fund board of directors, chairman of the Board of Economic Advisers of Stamos Capital Partners, and the Cutwater Advisory Board. He was a principal and limited partner at Long-Term Capital Management (LTCM), a highly leveraged hedge fund that collapsed in 1998, and a managing director at Salomon Brothers.
