    Finance and capital markets on Khan Academy: Interest is the basis of modern capital markets. Depending on whether you are lending or borrowing, it can be viewed as a return on an asset (lending) or the cost of capital (borrowing). This tutorial gives an introduction to this fundamental concept, including what it means to compound. It also gives a rule of thumb that might make it easy to do some rough interest calculations in your head.
    About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more. Our math missions guide learners from kindergarten to calculus using state-of-the-art, adaptive technology that identifies strengths and learning gaps. We've also partnered with institutions like NASA, The Museum of Modern Art, The California Academy of Sciences, and MIT to offer specialized content.

    Thank you for Posting. You have done what many teachers do not do today. That of breaking the down the equation. Describing the outcome of the variable in a clear way. Your speaking voice is excellent and engages the listener. Do you know how hard it is to find teachers that want to teach because they are passionate teaching. You have unraveled our FATHER OF PRICING Option"s Formula and have done him a great service.

    A phenomenal lesson I’ve been watching this lesson overtime in my studies, and as I revisited, Always understand a little more. I have immense respect for Khan Academy and the work you guys do, really help me a lot. My humble contribution to this, 's in time 9:09, when you said that an increase in sigma (historical volatility), makes D1 go up and D2 down in value, which it's not quite accurate, I'm certain it's because you speaking in rough terms to be easier to understand.
    As my understanding goes, an increase in volatility (sigma) makes BOTH D1 and D2 increase in value, but the ratio of this increase in D1 is greater. Which makes the difference, between them, and their fore between N(D1) and N(D2) greater. And that's why an increase in volatility alone makes the premium of a call option, as the example, have an increase in value. More specifically Extrinsic value. The outcome in the premium it's the same, but I humbly believe that's this's more the case in that situation.
    Sorry for the bad English, I'm a foreigner and I love the videos. You guys should do a deep math course on Black and Scholes, I'm certain it's gonna be great! Best Wishes!

    I did this in college, 43 years ago with select stocks in S&P 500. The problem with it is that the distribution of risk is not representative to reality, it’s only an attempt or approximation. For example a standard dev. gives equal weights to up and downside.

    Amazing video! T does represent time to expiration but not 'how long the holder of the option has to exercise it'. The model was created to value the price of European Options only (not American), Options whereby the contract is only executed at the Expiration date and not before, so we are interested in T in the model as it tells us when the Option gets executed, the holder of the Option cannot execute it early :)

    According to doctor I used to live with that means they spent all their time, "every waking hour and to the exclusion of everything else," trying to win the Nobel prize.
    I told him he should do it. All his parents ever did was boast about how wonderful he was, how genius he was, how he was a genius when he was 6 years old. Going on and on about it every time we ever saw them, I didn't see why he shouldn't also get a Nobel prize to go with it. That's when he said you have to spend more time trying to win the prize than you do with anything else in your life.

    I guess it should also be mentioned that Merton and Scholes went on to create a hedge fund (LTCM) which almost melted down the economy and was bailed out by tax payer money to avoid a contagion to the overall economy that would have been in the order of trillions of USDs. The math might have been elegant, but risk pricing (the actual reason why they have received the nobel prize) was not really the thing these gentlemen were good at ironically.

    Intuitively why is it hat the higher the stock price the higher the call option is? I thought it'd be the opposite intuitively. Because at a lower stock price the room for increasing stock price is higher thus when you buy a call option, the lower the strike price is the more the potential earnings will be. Can someone explain to me please!!!

    Black Scholes is extremely inferior 1)The process is actually multifractional (MPRE-multi-fractional with random exponent) multi-tempered stable motion 2).Even if the stochastic process is just a geometric Brownian motion, the nonzero quadratic variation of the aforementioned process coupled w/ non-zero proportional trading costs implies perfect dynamic hedging is infinitely costly. 3)There is endogenous price impact non-neutrality (endogenous reflexivity) 4). There is endogenous incompleteness.

    Great. Another one? So there are Futures Traders and now Options Traders?
    I have a semi-friend who was a Futures Trader but he also calls himself a broker. No idea if that's the same as a Futures Trader. He worked at a place with Futures in its name. He has a fit if I tell online in a social media the exact place of where he worked. No idea why that is either but I don't think I'll ever understand what he does. I've been trying to for over 5 years now. He's done work in all parts of finance though. He was also a hedge funds manager for awhile. He started as a floor trader in the 80's.

    • @VickiBee
      @VickiBee 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      I call it a semi-friend bc someone like him never would have been friends with me (never would have met me) if I didn't know someone who died in the World Trade Center. He had a fund for victims' families. That's how I met him but I never used the fund. Eric wasn't a stockbroker. He was a recruiter for professional businesses. I have no idea what that means. Unfortunately I didn't ask and he didn't offer to explain what he does. He was too busy being excited about the Sphere that was in the World Trade Center (donated by someone in 1970) than he was about his actual work.
