The extra 1%

With the exam a few weeks away. I have been trying to come up with ways to remember things. For example. The difference between normal contango, and contango. I remember normal contango being the longer sentence, and so it is when future prices are higher than "expected spot price’ which is longer than “spot price”. If you catch my logic. Another one - French Fama model. The french farmers see the value in small markets, to work out what the factors are. PS - I am not looking for short cuts, I am at 300 hours of study. Just want to get the extra marks where I can. Hoping to start a list of them!

not to offend anyone, but for put call parity… i always remember one side as Pussy (P + S) and then you know the other side is C + X (which you can remember as Cox, if you have a really dirty mind). Since male and females are equal, Pussy = Cox, and the Put Call Parity is P + S = C + X …remember to take PV of X, so it is actually X/(1+r)^t again, not to offend anyone…but for p values… guys with small p-enises get rejected. so for quant, if you get a small p-value, reject the null hypothesis

The Put Call parity is genius! Exactly the type of stuff I am thinking of…but I hate to think what voices you are hearing in your head.

This isn’t quite as memorable as Pussy=Cox, but C - P = S - X Alphabetical order with subtraction signs.

pamela is a sexy x-rated cougar p+s = x/(1+r)^t + c p=pamela s=sexy x/(1+r)^t=x-rated c=cougar

So I think that we have C+X=S+P covered. Anymore. I will have a look at my notes when I get home. Alex
