Sincerely curious to know--when people say "wall street" what are they referring to? Is it retail banks? I-banks? Private equity? Hedge funds? VC? Mutual funds? Insurance? Prop trading firms? HFTs? Ratings agencies? Exchanges? REITs? It's a big street w/ lots of people on it! https://twitter.com/JStein_WaPo/status/1138967445505490944 …
