Good lord, you're a real piece of work, aren't you? I went to the #1 liberal arts school for my undergrad and I am telling you that the above is such a ridiculous load of utter bullsh1t, it's not even funny. As I have asked you time and time again, pls stop spouting nonsense, as it's painful...

Right, so you don't have a clue and yet you open your mouth to issue a random string of mathematical-sounding terms? How about starting w/a more basic concept that you use, a "topological space"? Do you know the definition of that? Whatever gave you the idea that there haven't been many...

Hmmm, I am naive and uneducated about mathematics? Interesting... Why don't you go ahead and educate me? Define "topological probability" for me. Be as precise as you like... Whatever you say, mate, whatever you say...

What information? What "lecture"? Analyze what? You're spouting a bunch of total and utter gibberish. You need a qualified mental health worker to "analyze" it and I don't think there's anyone on this site who fits this description (although, judging by his reference to DSM-IV, atticus...

Oh no! Woe is me! I guess it's all over for me then? Seeing as how I am not a CFA charter holder, I guess I just don't have what it takes to comprehend this whole Financial Science thing. Should I hand back my pnl and quit my job right now?

I can't comment directly on how this works in the world of equities, but it does have an effect on the dynamics and pricing in, for example, the world of rates (simplistically, affects normal/lognormal behaviour). Maybe sle can help with how this works w/stocks.

I'm sorry, mate, if you think this is good enough for this thread, you got another think coming. This just wasn't anywhere near the bwol standard. To paraphrase Darth Vader, "Impressive, young Skywalker, but you're not a Jedi yet!". There can be only one bwol!

It's not bad, although I am not sure I would call it a "primer".

The puts are still expensive (used to be ridiculously expensive, now just plain expensive). The problem with the "test" argument is that the SNB selling CHF in unlimited size hardly presents a challenge. How can they fail this test?

Wow! I had no idea this could get any better... However, "disproportionate Scalar Conversion Fractal Mathematics Theoretically Derived Factors" places bwol into a league all of his own. So does "combinitorical" (sic).

I disagree with this article.

German auctions don't require real money buyers necessarily, but there's no real concept of "primary dealer", which means that, yes, some paper gets retained routinely, as part of normal operating procedure. However, this is the worst subscribed German auction on record and, furthermore, BuBa...

I'd say that one of the contributing factors was also that it was a Japanese holiday. That's why you don't see the move in the cash bond yield. So I think it's worth waiting to see what happens when the domestics come in properly (officially, Japan was open today, but, due to Thanksgiving...

No, not at all... Firstly, because it's flexible. Secondly, because it's based on realized inflation, which need not follow unsterilized QE.

You see right through me... No, I don't have a plan to earn $1 billion. I know that I can't compete with people like you, so I have given up trying. What a priceless thread this is... The powers of speech fail me.

Yes.

This is incorrect. There is nothing in the current law that prevents the ECB from making unsterilized purchases of EU member countries government bonds in the secondary market. It's allowed within their monetary policy transmission framework.

I wish it was me... Need to credit the source, which is actually the first "Back to the Future" movie.
