Michael Joseph Pratt
I have my fingers in several cookie jars these days.
- I am a partner in a statistical arbitrage hedge fund. That’s pretty much all you’ll read about my work there but if you are in the field and would love to chat, feel free to contact me.
- I co-founded the Style Coalition with my wife, Jean Vouté Pratt and the MyItThings team of Yuli Ziv and Saar Paamoni.
- I created the online niche social community Bugle Notes for fellow grads and cadets of my alma mater, West Point.
I try to add a little value with this blog in each of the areas touched by these projects. You’ll find me online everywhere. I like to engage. I find I learn more that way.
If you are interested in any of these areas, contact me anytime or just hit me up at any of the places I hang online
Other stuff I’m into
I am a huge music lover with a wide range of tastes. No opera please. My playlist is constantly scrobbling on last.fm.

Why the name “permanent waves”?
Rush is one of my all time favorite bands and their album Permanent Waves is one of my all time favorites. Combine that with the fact that I feel a personal connection to the image conjured up by the title – something that’s in constant motion, yet retains a certain, well, permanence – and you have me in a nutshell (or so I led myself to believe!)
