    Financial Implications of the Brexit

    From a US investor's perspective (living in Mexico), Hedge Funds in particular, if this leads to the London property value devaluation as some are predicting, I'm going in. Not sure of the exact entry point, but total devaluation of over 15% (total = currency devaluation + Property devaluation)...

    So that's why I've been constantly humming Aerosmith's "livin' on the edge" ...considering Brexit and the results timing, that should be the Bionic Turtle theme song that people hear as soon they visit the site. It's Friiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidddddaaaaaaay!!!!

    Risk free debt, merton model

    Roll down typically means seasoning --> I am assuming the text is referring to the Maturity curve-->the bond is getting closer to its maturity as it ages, so its life (or WAL) is shrinking. For comparison purposes you want a Treasury bond with similar current life as your bond. In this case...

    Man I honestly don't know how I feel. I had my first nightmare about the results last night, woke up at 6 am thinking today is the day and then realized I got 6 more days. Like you said, I MUST know at this point. I've mostly written it off to be honest, but would like to see a nice surprise...

    Could that just be due to the time difference between US and India (or any other country). For US ET - it was 10:30PM of the 4th when it was 9:00 AM in India of the 5th of Jan; it was 7:30 PM of the 4th in California.

    Ohhhh man, I was hoping for a "It's me, I'm a child prodigy and I teach quantum something at MIT" type of response. Definitely a cute avatar.

    Completely Lost in Quant

    Thanks @QuantMan2318 - In terms of older BT (David's) videos, I find it a lot easier to just go to their youtube channel, as mentioned in my earlier post, at https://www.youtube.com/user/bionicturtledotcom ; it's a centralized location for all of David's videos whether they are older or newer...

    The uncertainty of the emotions I'll face this time on the 28th. This wait is worse than the wait for the CFA results, and I'm not sure why.

    Completely Lost in Quant

    NP - Wouldn't be surprised if most people felt the same way to be honest. But hey, it would be as interesting if it wasn't challenging. The best sense of accomplishment comes from the most challenging goals. Failure is only an option if you make it one. @Mkaim 's words of wisdom for the day.

    Completely Lost in Quant

    How you're feeling right now is EXACTLY how I felt when I was reviewing the quant material. I ended up spending a month on half of quant and soon realized I was screwing myself over by doing that. As @brian.field mentioned, it's 25% of the exam, and if you can understand even 50% of it and...

    Recent development in SocGen Case

    The funny thing is that I was in Paris at the time the news broke out and the local media and public were saying the exact thing we're discovering now. Top management at the time should be held just as accountable as he was, if not more. As they say, when a dog bites, you don't blame the dog...
