1. Just what I was looking for.
2. Kindly asking for a set of books to purchase so that I can practice at home from a beginner level. Thank you so much for this videos.
3. thank you so much MIT .very helpful
4. Ok so the majority of the students chose option B but I would choose option A... Logic: take 0.8*500 = 400 then take 0.2*-500 = -100 now my so called expected value that I get is 400-100 = 300. Which is better than 280. I simulated this in excel and it seems that Option A is the better option.. Anyone agree?
5. Just a reminder, if any one is a newbie like me who haven't touch continuous stochastic process before, please go through 2-5, 17, 18 and 21 before taking others. Otherwise pretty much can't understand some of the guest lectures.
6. Help me out, I am a student learning online with MIT, do I need extensive Math with this course?
7. I can run real fast in my tennis shoes.

12. He said brokers are different than dealers. Does he mean the underwriter for a dealer? Underwriters: who are the first one who buy IPOs of any company, did he mean like that?
13. thank you so much
14. Thanks it was very helpful
15. How long does this course go? One semester (i.e. 6 months)? Because 26 lectures at one per week takes longer than 6 months (excluding possible vacation and the exam at the end).
