Re: CMS Spread

Is CMS spread the same as a CMS spread range accrual?

I guess MC, Lattice FFT methods (not PDE spread  models) are usually used? 

// is a CMS spread much different from spread options, grosso modo? More HW2 than BS?

There is a somewhat cavalier attitude to time .. I vaguely remember a discussion about Big Bang when  t = 0. Someone asked what about t < 0. Someone suggested sticking on a hyperbolic PDE willy-nilly. Result: model blows up .... violates one of the laws of thermodynamics it seems. Time and Space … I...

Re: guess a country

Once in a blue moon, I can agree with Mr. Marsden, 718 area code could be Brooklyn or Queens, but "Hillside" seems to point to Queens Well, no 718 is also Sunnyside...e.g. 42nd Street I used to do window cleaning there. A real Goodfellas kind of area. Anyways, that's the shop where the or...
