[@parasharkulkarni4418]

[@Anduy261]

Finance is his specialty. As to other subjects, he often reads about them before he makes a video.

[@poiuwnwang7109]

In addtion to the MBA from Harvard, he also has master degrees in math, computer science, and engineering. He is a superman.

[@subhradeepsinha2751]

@DrQuijano True that. I guess this is the difference between a man who works hard with his free time and a man who lazes with it.

I'd be interested on your opinion on the question if the trading of big financial institutes in the future market of basic food is responsible for a drastic rise of these prices

[@Supernova12034]

So if they cannot fulfill the contract and they sell it to someone else, thats called offsetting?

[@Bulba2036]

Sal really goes out of his way with his drawings to make these video's entertaining. xD

[@lkjkhfggd]

I don't understand how Khan knows so many things....

[@GndmMkv]

A human computer!~

[@tattsun999]

what kind of software do you use? Looks like a blackboard. p.s. nice drawings.

[@Biman_Goswami]

lol I used some of your videos to study for USMLE...you are everywhere :P

[@haasboer]

haha, you should have recorded the drawing of the contract-guy and post it to some second account like khandrawings ;)

[@QuijanoPhD]

@lkjkhfggd Dude has 3 degrees one from MIT and the other two from equally amazing institutions. Also, you could learn as much with a 1$ library subscription or enough reading time on the internets.

[@shakaama]

hi nimrod, what does your comment have to do with Black farmers being shut out of trading on the open market and being shut out of bring their product to the market? how did you get on a computer? do they have electricity where you live, or did you go to a neighboring village to get on someone else's computer?

[@AlejoSG]

he uses the limitless pill...

[@WekBenHelix]

@liebstandarteadolf He's speaking to a wide audience, attempting to appeal to as many as possible. If he went any faster, he'd eliminate an audience. If he went any slower, he'd eliminate a different audience. He's moving at a pretty sensible pace.

[@asandhu21]

@freddyfury Salman Khan holds three degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology: a BS in mathematics, a BS in electrical engineering and computer science, and an MS in electrical engineering and computer science. He also holds an MBA from Harvard Business School. (got that from Wiki) smart dude. lol

[@Lottechoco]

you know how to draw too? Is there anything you don't know???

[@mak505]

@lkjkhfggd Khan is Chuck Norris!

[@yichen5227]

someone can translate in chinese , please

[@arseneremy]

@lkjkhfggd he worked at a hedge fund. i tend to notice finance guys are generally braniacs

[@oexnorth]

Thumbs up if you ever tried to scroll up on Sal's screen using your own mouse.

[@ColtraneTaylor]

@freddyfurry There are many things that smart people don't know. In any case I doubt he can explain quantum physics theories.

[@shakaama]

oh, could you message my inbox and explain what you do?

[@Rugit0]

Bitcoin anyone?

[@boobak]

HOLD

[@nextblain]

his ancestors were from asia ...

[@iNinjaNotes]

@lkjkhfggd Lol. Lots of reading equipped with being a very smart person.

[@statixmx]

@hyDoYouLive7 - No Thanks!

[@goldensilverstar]

He can fucking draw as well??? is there anything he cant do........

[@mrzack888]

@lkjkhfggd he's Indian.

[@hideflolife]

I want your DNA :)

[@123hooterman]

is it just me or is the sound not working for others? My sound is working I'm not crazy!

[@animonocle01Q]

@smurfieboo But unlike Bryan, he's not a religion bashing hatchet -faced nutmeg dealer with no idea how much he fails. Sorry I just really don't like Bryan. btw he sounds more like Mark Crilley

[@shakaama]

so Khan question: the Black farmer was shut out from bringing his product to market by white farmers and corporations, i.e. distribution was restricted. The Black farmer has all but disappeared. Could I then go to say, Atlanta, and create an exchange for very tiny contracts, or micro-contracts, to save the Black farmer? And, how hard would that be? P.S.: I do not need a supply / demand lesson. Racism trumps any sterile definition of supply and demand.

[@LAURIKSAS]

@lkjkhfggd maybe in another life you will
