Hi Professor Abbott,

I'm a high school student who is really enthralled in the world of finance. I just watched your MIT OCW video and absolutely loved it, so I wanted to reach out to thank you so much for sharing such a good lecture (and for posting the spreadsheet/documents online). I think the idea of pursuing HFT is really exciting, so I'm trying to learn as much as I can as early

Hi Ken, I watched your MIT lecture regarding Monte Carlo simulation of VaR with great enthusiasm.

I can understand if you feel reluctance to share “MC stuff 2010.xls” you went through in the lecture, but if you would, I use it for inspiration on how to adjust my setup.

Alternatively, can you point me in the direction of some articles of historic/MC VaR calculation (including FI)?

Dear Mr Abbott,
I would like first to congratulate you about your classe at MIT posted on YouTube about VAR.Fantastic.
I am looking for a portfolio VAR calculation that include all the instruments: Stocks, bonds, derivatives
I found only VAR on specific instruments but no all of them. I would really appreciate if you have a book or a spreadsheet about it.
Thanks a lot for your help.

Hello Prof. Abbott,

I watched your lecture on VaR on MIT OpenCourseWare, and found it very interesting. I would like to follow up on what I learned, and was hoping you would be able to share the excel file that you used in the class. If I can see the video correctly, it is called MC stuff 2010.xls. It would be very much appreciated.

My email is benaiva9@gmail.com Thanks!

Hello Ken,

I'am a Masters student writing my thesis at the University of Cape Town in South Africa. I just watched the lecture you gave at MIT on VaR and found it fascinating.

Could I possibly get that excel spreadsheet you used to generate correlated random normals called 'Mc stuff". My email is Dylan.Probyn@hotmail.com. Thanks in advance and have a great evening.

All the best

Dear Prof. Kenneth Abbott, I also found your MIT lecture on VAR very interesting. I would appreciate some orientation on how to fill in MISSING DATA and some more references on the procedure and excel complement (matrix.xla?) you used when revealing the keys of the kingdom (WOW! thank you).

Hi Ken, I am a senior undergrad student studying financial econometrics and have a similar question to asidd.
I took your lecture on a VaR model through online that you gave at MIT. I would like to study further with using excel file that you discussed in the lecture.
I checked the name of that file and it was MC stuff 2010.xls. Is there any chance that I can get that excel file from you?

Thanks.

Hi Ken, watched your lecture on VaR Models that you gave at MIT and found it informative and useful. Had two questions:

1. At the systemic level, If we are to posit that risk can be transferred but cannot be eliminated then would that be a correct statement?
2. Would you still have the excel file that you discussed in the VaR model lecture at MIT.

Thanks.

Hi Prof. Abbott, I am considering the job offer to be Market Risk Quantitative Internal Auditor. Like to seek for your opinion whether I can gain experience and switch to Market risk, Model validation, or any Quant hands on work etc. in future or not? or it is better to go directly to those positions.
