Emanuel Derman bookmarked When You Cannot Hedge Continuously: The Corrections to Black-Scholes (1998) (437 days ago)
Emanuel Derman wrote a new blog post titled REVISION: The Illusions of Dynamic Replication
While modern financial theory holds that options values are derived by dynamic replication, they can be correctly valued far more simply by long familiar static and actuarial arguments that combine stochastic price evolution with the no-arbitrage relation between cash and forward contracts.

Emanuel Derman wrote a new blog post titled REVISION: Metaphors, Models & Theories
Theories deal with the world on its own terms, absolutely. Models are metaphors, relative descriptions of the object of their attention that compare it to something similar already better understood via theories. Models are reductions in dimensionality that always simplify and sweep dirt under the rug. Theories tell you what something is. Models tell you merely what something is partially like.
