You certainly have interesting friends!
The economic collapse will be triggered by the derivatives market. Even
people in this market can not see 2-3 steps ahead. Way too complicated, and
economy does not have to be this complicated!
Toxic assets are toxic no matter what you do!
You made the conceptually complex simple and kept the simple
straightforward and simple; well done!
very helpful…………please explain how to interpret the derivative
listings in FT.
Thank you for these !
Derivative (finance)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derivative_%28finance%29
Derivatives can be used either for risk management (i.e. to “hedge” by
providing offsetting compensation in case of an undesired event,
“insurance”) or for speculation (i.e. making a financial “bet”).

“Heightened price volatility and surging trading volumes underscore the
need for the OTC derivatives market infrastructure to evolve to support
this expansion,” US Treasury secretary Hank Paulson said in a speech this
month.
Derivatives are not crucial to any financial markets. Your first example of
what a derivative is is not accurate.
Thanks for making me feel like an idjut.
Great video… Thanks! Highly structured credit derivatives can be
unpredictable as in the JP Morgan trading loss in June 2012
lovebabyangel1 .. I bet you’re really a fat, middle-aged bloke with
halitosis.
That’s it from me at Moneyweekvideos but do feel free to stay in touch via

Oh, yeah; and I have snake oil that grows your hair back if you are going
bald.
He said “derivatives are dangerous if placed in the wrong hands…but so is
my lawn mower” lol funniest thing I’ve ever heard him say
this was fu**ing brilliant. I never understood the meaning of derivatives
especially options contract, but this video was so great, explanations were
amazing, thanks!
Sir, will it be alright for you to post video about ALM?
People like you make youtube a priceless resource. Thank you
cool
Cant imagine why you posted this vid. In the very close limit… it’s
useless.
its good to have goals
the most fucking useless shit ever
2:25 onwards… Actually you don’t have to memorize anything. f(x) = 6,
then 6 = 6*1 = 6*x^0 0*6*x^(0-1) = 0 (zero times anything is zero)
The worst video lecture ever heard by me.
give the best linear approximation of the function.. near that input value.
this brings to mind the graphs of derivatives vs regular function graphs.
im just confused because it seems like derivatives are almost like
reciprocals but in a whole different form with a whole different concept.
is it only for tangent lines on a curve?
keep it up man!!!!.. you are def. helping with this class from HELLL!
Derivative of a constant is Zero because the value of X is 1 i,e when you
see 6 its actually 6 X 1.. So its 1 with power of 1 which gives X a value
of 1. When you apply the power rule to get derivative of 6 you actually are
doing ( its (1-1)*6*1 with power of 0 which would anyways give your 0
this is the only thing about derivatives i understand. what is a derivative
though???
You taught this so much better than my math teacher, and probably just
saved me from getting completely lost. Thank you so much 🙂
or simply put, the derivative of a constant is 0.
Wow… Thank you so very very much. I asked everyone (my math teacher, the
smart kid, and even Google) and this is the best answer I’ve gotten. I was
lost and flunking the mess out of Calculus. You might have just saved my
life. Thanks so much again. 🙂
