Hi, yeah, I use it. Not every day, but I do use it. I think it is a terrific text. It has so many problems, but it has never been equaled and is not about to. I personally use the stuff on BS and interest rate derivatives. you should do all the problemsinside out, outside in. you will have to read it again and again and again and again and againand again and again and again ....bye.

I always think it is good to read it, do some exercise and use that for work to get motivated and make some money. Then read that and repeat the process...Can I ask what area you are working on right now?

While we are on the topic of John Hulls book: I found VaR in this book easy and simple. I suppose there must be much more complex analysis/measure of value at risk. Can anyone gives some related topics/tools?bbkaran
