Blog Post: Falkenblog: Cult of the Presidency

Posted: 17 Dec 2012 06:12 PM PST

Watching the media's anticipation of Obama's press conference after the tragic school shooting in Connecticut, I was reminded of the great book The Cult of the Presidency by Gene Healy, where he notes the president is now expected to be, among many other things, the Consoler in Chief, our national chaplain in times of great tragedies.

Published / Preprint: Option Pricing from Wavelet-Filtered Financial Series. (arXiv:1103.3639v2 [q-fin.ST] CROSS LISTED)

Posted: 17 Dec 2012 05:30 PM PST

We perform wavelet decomposition of high frequency financial time series into large and small time scale components. Taking the FTSE100 index as a case study, and working with the Haar basis, it turns out that the small scale component defined by most ($\simeq$ 99.6%) of the wavelet coefficients can be neglected for the purpose of option premium evaluation. The relevance of the hugely...
