Humor–Myron Scholes on the best way to reduce risk
2009-05-21 | Filed Under RichardH's Posts |
Manalanobis translates a segment of a Myron Scholes interview with an Austrian newspaper in which Scholes comments on ‘the best way to reduce risk.’
Scholes is a co-developer of the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing formula. Scholes and Merton won a Nobel in part for their work on options; Black had died before the Nobel was awarded. Scholes was part of Meriwether’s arbitrage group at Salomon Brothers, and later a partner of Long Term Capital Management.
I apologize in advance for subjecting you to this bit of humor.
Do you want a little more Scholes? Deborah Solomon interviewed him in the 17 May 2009 issue of the New York Times Magazine.
Nota bene: You will NOT learn anything about option pricing from either of the above links.
