Re: UK and the EU: In or out?

here's a good idea I f the two parties were to merge, they would be a genuine UK-wide third party with safe seats, a solid party membership, and real power. The DUP’s entrenched status in Northern Ireland is just what UKIP needs to bring stability in changing times. Add Farage into the mix and thin...

Re: Fed Prepares for Further Quant Easing

The Fed's Massive Bubble Is Leading To Massive Economic Pain First, the financial problem was called surplus value problem. Which probably was discovered by Karl Marx. Surplus was not invested in the areas where it comes from. Where it was used is other problem. Now values of 'surplus' in some coun...

Re: Volatility Trading using European Vanilla Options

Re: to Black Scholes pricing

In the binomial model you don't care about mu: if the stock goes up or down ..your P&L of the hedged call is in both cases zero. This means that the probability of going up -and hence the value of mu- does not matter if you hedge! outrun, You right. In BS scheme distributions S up-down are give...

Re: to Black Scholes pricing

In BS the cashflows are values against a constant rate you can hedge with a bond. Just like the stock's expected return is linked to that same rate. edit: money in the bank, money invested in stock, borrowed money, .. al assumed having the same rate/expected yield in B&S BS hedged portfolio val...
