These are links to various parts of the Web, which you may find interesting:

Finance Links

  • Finance Dictionary: This is an online dictionary of finance terms. There is a long list of acronyms (a favorite in finance), as well as subtopic lists such as bonds, taxes, and derivatives (options and futures). I don’t promise all of these are correct.
  • Option Pricing: Professor McDonald has kindly offered to share his option pricing excel spreadsheets with us. The enclosed spreadsheets can be used to price calls and puts using the Black-Scholes formula (which we mentioned in class) and the binomial formula (which we do not discuss in class). These spreadsheets are for your interest only. You are not responsible, however, for knowing the option pricing formulas.
  • Professor Petersen's current research interests.
  • Thirty Ways to Tell if Technology Has Invaded Your Life. This is a geek test. Kellogg is full of geeks. If you fear that you have become one, you can take this test to check. If you discover you are a geek, please let me know.
Videos and Online Course Material. There is an increasing amount of online material available online. This material can be an excellent supplement, especially for the more mechanical parts of finance or for subjects that you have "already covered" but you need a review. As I find them, I will add them.
