Blog Post: Falkenblog: Bank Stock Timing Strategy

Posted: 01 Oct 2012 05:55 PM PDT

My bank vega theory I alluded to yesterday argued that when banks are weak, they are in a negative vega zone: the potential for getting stopped out makes them want to avoid risks, not take them. For fun, I looked at a trading implication, based on the idea that I alone, via my theory, know when banks will be timid or growing.  A timid bank doesn't make money, so it's best to avoid it then....

Published / Preprint: Consumer finance data generator - a new approach to Credit Scoring technique comparison. (arXiv:1210.0057v1 [q-fin.ST])

Posted: 01 Oct 2012 05:33 PM PDT

This paper aims to present a general idea of method comparison of Credit Scoring techniques. Any scorecard can be made in various methods based on variable transformations in the logistic regression model. To make a comparison and come up with the proof that one technique is better than another is a big challenge due to the limited availability of data. The same conclusion cannot be guaranteed...

Published / Preprint: Systems of Brownian particles with asymmetric collisions. (arXiv:1210.0259v1 [math.PR])

Posted: 01 Oct 2012 05:33 PM PDT

We study systems of Brownian particles on the real line, which interact by splitting the local times of collisions among themselves in an asymmetric manner. We prove the strong existence and uniqueness of such processes and identify them with the collections of ordered processes in a Brownian particle system, in which the drift coefficients, the diffusion coefficients, and the collision local...

Posted: 01 Oct 2012 08:47 AM PDT

As the European Central Bank prepares to dig deeper for the billions of Euros to bail out Spain and Italy if necessary, scientists at the New England Complex Systems Institute have asked whether the Eurozone’s debt crisis was actually the result of flawed fiscal policies or blind panic in the markets. Their answer is: yes, the debt crisis is real, but that market overreactions made it...

Research Library: The European debt crisis: Defaults and market equilibrium

Posted: 01 Oct 2012 08:46 AM PDT

M. Lagi, Y. Bar-Yam   Abstract During the last two years, Europe has been facing a debt crisis, and Greece has been at its center.
