Good luck @Israel I think I figured it out, it is exactly as it says EPS = 0.2749*YEAR – 548.09

I entered it like this =(0.2749*2007+ – 548.09)

Ofcource you can click into the cells with the pre determined vales for 0.2749 and -548.09 since we already calculated those.

Good luck

EPS = 0.2749*YEAR – 548.09 After trying several values I am not coming up with the answer Thank you I have the same question as Israel, what exactly is the value that was plugged into YEAR? EPS = 0.2749*YEAR – 548.09

After trying several values I am not coming up with the answer

Thank you

As a newbie on MATLAB, may I ask you how to merge one or more columns into one and only variable? I tried the 'Result = [hist_high hist_close]' command. This works in the general case, but it doesn't when date is involved as a argument (i.e. hist_date). In that case I just get an error message. Any hint? Thank you very very much in advance, Euangelos. Hi Lumi,

I used a specialized Kalman filter, real time delta-sigma convert stream, obtained the multi Freq A&P lickity split. Admittedly I needed 0.01% accuracy, yet I am sorely impressed by your methodology to obtain solutions. The actual solution is often secondary as it is a specific case and methodology is a general case. Thanks, and agian, a "way-cool" from me, alan Greetings,

I have been working as a software developer but recently got a job as a Quant developer in some quant trading start up. I just want to know from you guys, is it relevant and good for me to move to quant developer role. How much will i get to learn about capital markets ? and will that be counted by CFA for relevant experience. Also, i am more inclined to be researching stocks , economy etc.. How relevant is a Quant role, when it is more of mathematics than finance. Looking despearately for answers !! Lumi and Others,

Everyday, I seem to refresh a topic but inevitably push another topic out the back. With all this material being covered, just always wonder come exam day, will I have the right material in my head. From your post, sounds like you are grinding and I wish you luck come exam day. Under a month to go! Hi Lumi,
