Hi Nicole/David,

just a question about part 2 section "Current Issues In Financial Markets".

Will you publish the quizzes also for this section ? In case they are very useful, at least in my opinion.

Tks in advance

Hi fabio, we just received the draft 2018 syllabus and, again, the entire set of Current Issues was changed (I don't like when GARP does this). Ergo, we will NOT be writing further questions for 2017 Current Issues. We will write PQs for 2018 Current Issues, like we did for 2017, but I don't expect we will additionally add an interactive quiz. thanks,

There was an issue with the website being down for a little while last night. Although this does not happen often, our team is great at getting the site back up and running quickly. Thank you for your patience during the time the site was down.
I am doing a thesis on Merton Distance to default (DD) Model for predicting bank's distance to default. In merton DD model we need values of six variables out of which 3 are known.
Could you please guide me how to calculate 1-Market Value of assets 2-Volatility of assets and 3-Expected return on Assets in case of banks, because without these values d1 and d2 can’t be calculated.
I am not working this weekend (visiting a new baby in the family!) so I won't be on the forum 8/19 and 8/20, FYI. Back next week, thanks!

Brilliant stuff, David! Need to take some time to see what you have revised. The Jorion chapters can always be improved (more explanations etc.) as they are quite tricky (especially for beginners). Definitely a big thumbs up and thank you for this!

Bionic Turtle forums are very very useful in building confidence required for the exam.
