8F : Real Options = Camp Kill Yourself

[JO]

When I took Part 6 in 2001 and I saw the 11-point Black Scholes question, I was like : "All right, write as much as you can, you'll never have to deal with it again, ever".. So far, the 8F material had been pretty ok, not that difficult and fairly interesting. But with the addition of the Real Options book to the 2002 syllabus, oh boy was I not happy or what when I saw that I have to deal with all that crap again! Great! And now, seems like Chapter 5 looks even more promising!! Déja vu of Valuation of Interest-Sensitive Financial Instruments?! Hmm..

:rant:

Anyway, I just thought I'd complain since it's always fun. BTW, anyone has done a page count for the exam in total?? I feel like I'll never be done reading that material. Yuk! Case study? Uh what's that.. :roll:

My rough count was 1,633 pages. The problem is that all pages are not created equal. Sometimes you can cover 10 pages per hour, sometimes I only get through 4. Sigh...

I came up with exactly 1600 total pages...

Aren't there better things to complain about than black-scholes? Like maybe SN 317?

It's because I haven't read it yet!!! I ordered the revised Study Notes today (Go me!!). Will that include the Case Study? I love studying..I always feel like I'm on top of my game :D
