Anyhow, enjoyed your recent article.
Thanks, but I think the supplied code is too simple; I only included a single case (I wanted to gauge the response, so I didn't include everything). It's the first in a 4 part series. I think in the next part, I'll pick things up a little bit with time-varying barriers. Hopefully I'll have part 2 out by end of December, early January. Anyways, aside from Quantlib, there's really no publically available code for pricing the types of options I cover, so hopefully it will help somebody.

Glenfiddich
Ah, yes... When I was recovering from surgery earlier this year I dutifully swore off the booze, thinking it might inhibit the healing process. When I mentioned this to the doctor he asked, "Why would you do that?" He informed me that he strongly believes in the healing power of a good scotch. So I upgraded to Glenfiddich while recovering. He was right... :-D He also recommended a scotch that I can't recall, with an odd name like Boar Whiz or something. He told me it's the best he's tasted, but it can't be found here. I'll have to ask again about it, and pick some up in Las Vegas next time I go shopping.

Some day, treat yourself and get a bottle of Glenfiddich - preferably the 18 year old, but even the 12 will do. I suspect it'll spoil you for the blended whiskeys.

I know :-) I love single malt scotch. Glenfiddich 12, Glenfiddich 15 and Macallan 12 are my favorites. For some reason Glenlivet 12/15 doesn't suite my taste. But not everyone's like that - I know some people who are so fond of the stronger and more caustic blended whiskeys that they don't like single malts (sounds weird I know). As part of an unofficial post-birthday-celebration of Rohan's 1st birthday (we celebrated his birthday with a personal trip to Niagara falls - just Smitha, Rohan and I), I bought a 1 litre bottle of JW Blue Label. Other than the fact that everyone was excited about drinking Blue Label nobody really liked it much. So much for that.

Bastards like Adnan were claiming it was orchestrated by the Indian Govt, like they alleged Sept 11 was an American inside job. Now that the terrorist scum's father has owned up, I think they will brand him an Indian agent.

I hope at least some section pakistan started slowly realizing the fact. See the editorial in dawn. Earlier Dawn had reported the statement from the terrorist's father. http://www.dawn.com/2008/12/13/ed.htm[^] Even after the observer article which confirmed the pakistan identity of the terrorist,some media channels of pakistans were refuting it. But the real danger is the acceptance of organizations like jamat-ud-dawah in pakistan soil. pretenting as a charitable organization they have got huge support amongst pakistani people. You could see the official website of that orginzation still actively campigining against the UN sanctions on them. Quite unlikely for a head of an alleged terrorist organization,here Hafeez sayed ,head of JuD was actively participating in debates in TV channels. Even pakistan foreign minister admitted to public that the act against JuD was only because of th eternal pressure. No hope man...India is yet to see bigger attacks from terrorists.
The article in Dawn (that you linked to) was very good. I just wonder how many Pakistanis would appreciate the acceptance of terrorism within their country.

I found it interesting and sought additional explanatory material here [^] but I found it rather hard going.
That's a thorough summary. The math is quite complicated so it would be hard to understand without the requisite background in probability. Barrier options are cheaper than regular options and basically are favoured due to their less expense. But they are difficult to price. If you think barriers are hard to price, CDOs and CDSs are much harder.

In Pakistan you say? Wow, who wudda thunk?!! All this while the Pakistan government and media (and thus a good many of their their naive citizens) insisted that the terrorists were not from Pakistan. Well his parents have identified him, and no points for guessing where they are from. :rolleyes: Ajmal Kasab is my son, says Mumbai attacker's father[^] No point disowning Kasab, but who will tell Pakistan[^] The investigations/interviews were done by Pak media and later followed up by British media. Most ironically, despite denying that the terrorists were from Pakistan, last week the Pak government asked the Indian government to allow him access to the Pakistan consulate in India. Why would a non-citizen have need for a consulate? The Pak government probably knew all along that these terrorists were from Pakistan and were just biding for extra time to plan out some course of action. I am not surprised at their denial so far. But I was surprised by the Pak media blindly believing their government. So far even the public believed (based on some surveys the BBC did) that the attacks were orchestrated by India-Israel-US (in their eyes the axis of evil) to put blame on Muslims/Pakistanis (the line there is often blurred). I hope that now that their own media has exposed the truth, the Pakistani people will demand that their government weed out all these internal terrorism sources. Because the first and most important step to solving a problem is to admit that there is one.

They certainly charge enough for it but when they refuse to even tell anyone what the ages of its malts are, one has to be a little bit suspicious. On the other hand, the Gold is more'n acceptable, especially if you're entertaining clients rather than friends.

I saw that the other day at the liquor store where I go to and I thought to myself, "hmmm... this is new" but I didn't get it. Looks like the next time I go out to replenish my supplies I'll have to grab a bottle and see.
