“Beware …
of geeks … bearing formulas.”
C = S * N(d1) - K * (e ^ -rt) * N (d2) d1 = ln (S / K) + (r + (sigma) ^ 2 / 2) * t / sigma * sqrt(t) d2 = d1 - sigma * sqrt(t)

Real Investment Matters• Financial disorder creates a crisis of
confidence– Fundamental uncertainty
• Financial crises can have real consequences– Consumer retrench– Loss of confidence and animal spirits
(Keynes)• Real investment stagnates
– Real investment is plant, equipment, even housing
– Productivity enhancing investments decline
• Government fiscal stimulus needed
