1. I hate to kick my own thread, but this is not meant to be a joke...

I'm serious.

2. This deserves a kick

TIA -- This is brilliant

Of course, let's not lose sight of the money to be made, by the other terrorists or our own. Put money on the fascist takeover, and then, in 2005, skip the spin and charade and make it an all-out coup.

Or the other terrorists. Bet on a major incident and then, well, carry it out and make a fortune.

It will be interesting to see if this story dies. Granted, we wouldn't expect faux or the other WH news services to cover this story, but surely not all the media is spineless?! Silly me. Must have been living under a rock these past few years. As one of the senators was quoted this morning, this is stupid and repugnant. Just to pile it on, I'll add vile. And, sure they may terminate the program as a result, but no one will be reprimanded, and no one will be held accountable.

3. To value Options on Bush Futures, remember the Black-Scholes model

for option valuation

Value of Call = V= SN(d) - Ke**(-rT) * N(d-SD*sqr(T))

where d= (ln(S/K) + (r+ .5*SD*SD)*T))/ (SD*sqr(T))

where
S= Futures price,
T= Time to Expiration,
K= Exercise price,
r= Interest rate,
SD= Risk (standard deviation of futures price S)

There, that wasn't too bad, was it?
