Re: to Black Scholes pricing

I do not fully grasp your argument. Where do you do the portfolio rebalancing step? At each time step t, we have a value before and after rebalancing / rehedging... I miss this step in your last post, but maybe I didn't get what you are saying :( In order to present BS price we choose arbitrary poi...

Re: to Black Scholes pricing

There is something that I could not comprehend in derivation (BSE). In one step [ t , t + dt ) everything looks quite good but this is informal style.  To be formal we should make several steps: 1) take a subinterval ( s , t ) [$]\in[$] [ 0 , T ] make a partition [$] s=t_0 < t_1 < ... < t_m = t[$] ....

Re: to Black Scholes pricing

It seems that there is an error in your mathematical argument.

The hedge portfolio is held fixed from t to t+dt, so there is no derivative of Delta with respect to S involved.
I did not take derivative of Delta.

Re: to Black Scholes pricing

Are you considering a one time static hedge at t=0, or a continuous dynamic re-heding at all points in time in the interval [0,T] ..like B&S assume? From my point of view BS pricing states that at any point during lifetime of the option the solution of the BSE provides risk free rates of return...

Re: to Black Scholes pricing

Here is the essence of my comment. The  change in the value of the Black Scholes hedged portfolio at [$] t  \in [ 0 , T ) [$] [$] d \Pi ( t ) =   d C ( t , S ( t ) )  -  C ^{\prime}_S ( t , S ( t ) )  d S ( t )  [$] does not have risky term dw ( t ). This fact lead them to the statement that [$] d \...

Re: Las Vegas to close. Global warming.

There is no direct evidence that SP killed people himself and it is not clear whether SP was killed even before shooting people began. Who installed cameras around his room in hotel and it is not clear from his biography that he has a skill to do that.

Re: Homage to Catalonia

Money also have a power to resolve political problems and it might be a chance of delay or even elimination of the problem in next future. Let's take a time to observe. But who knows?

Re: Las Vegas to close. Global warming.

With the mass-killing info there are a number of holes. It was said that there is no evidence of the connections to islamist while his girlfriend is a filippiner. How one can bring a large number of guns to the hotel room. Whether all guns have only his prints. The Country-Festival attendees are pri...
