    @cdbsmith well I also do not recall the wording of the question, but alpha needs in my view the risk free and the market return to compute the expected portfolio return I excluded it a priori, and i was between treynor and sharpe in my choice, but i found sharpe more coherent, since also treynor...

    hi uzi For most of your questions I believe you did great, but I have some doubt actually: for American put option value how could you find 5 USD as value: if S(0) was 85 and X was 100 and the actualized value from binomial tree was around 3, I think 15 is its value (we are at time zero)...
