    Risk free debt, merton model

    It's a little vague, but the closest I can come to this is through put-call parity. Put + Stock = Call + Risk-Free Bond (PV) --> P + S = C + B --> Solving for the call price you get C = P + S - B where -B is the short position in the risk-asset (or bond). I believe they mean "Put + Stock" as...

    Yeah, I agree. This thing is a beast. For me, it's time to diversify and try to hit as many targets as possible. I'm going to start taking practice exams from now until next Friday and then brush up for the remainder of time.

    When should you start a new thread on this forum?

    Perhaps I should provide different perspectives. I can see this causing frustration to several parties and not just someone who is trying to better understand concepts. * The enquirer: Didn't realize that the question may have already been answered and proceeds to spend time writing the...

With that said, do you think it's a good idea to have a prompt mentioning...

    When should you start a new thread on this forum?

    Several times, I've personally had to go through multiple threads to understand 1 concept because some people just start a new thread every time they have a question (and people respond). From my perspective, the site becomes inefficient when people do that (from a learning standpoint).

    Haaa... I actually didn't take it like that but I just wanted to be sure because there is always a remote chance considering that this crunch time and people could be on the edge due to work and studying. But to answer your question, yeah I'm ready to get this done with and move on.

    Hi @David Harper CFA FRM , I like the idea, but I don't think I can deal with the feeling of guilt I'll have afterwards. Army Crawls to the finish line...nothing but break after that (hopefully).

    Hey @David Harper CFA FRM , now that I read your response, I realized what @brian.field meant by suggestions (improvements to the forum). I'm not sure why I misunderstood it before, perhaps it's my brain that's dead right now. I originally understood it as suggestions for the exam or tips...
