Wow... this weekend has been insane and we are only in our first week in the Baruch MFE program. After yesterday's IAFE Conference, today we had the chance to be at the NYU Conference 2010 - Recent Developments is Derivatives Pricing honoring Dilip Madan and presented by Petter Kolm, director of the Math in Finance Program at Courant Institute.

While very technical, the material was very interesting. Presenters were all experts, with many years of experience in their field and considered few of the top. These included Peter Carr, Andrey Itkin, Andrew Lesniewski including Baruch's Liuren Wu. The presentations included topics such as "The local variance gamma model", "Leverage effect and volatility feedback in index options", "Risk management of CMOs" and much more.

The conference will continue tomorrow with a full day of Dilip Madan. Looking forward to that.

Details and pictures will soon be posted.

Thanx again to Quantnet for the invitation to the conference ... Keep up the good work!

Can't wait for what's next...
