Serial Correlation: Bad SEa water made Durbin Watson a Serial Killer.

ZOO

Fama French: French bread from the Market: Good Value for Size, dry as a bone (no liquididity premium)

Payer Swaption --> Payer is Put, Payer pays Fixed.

Just helps me remember which is put option and who pays what.

Dupont:

No Swimming After Eating

N/S * S/A * A/E

Then “crawl up” the income statement to break apart “N/S”

NI/EBT

EBT/EBIT

EBIT/Sales

Fixed Putin Wears an Interesting Cap

This reminds me that Long Put options on fixed income is equivalent to Long Cap on interest rates

This is how I remember the methods to correct for problems in statistical modelling:

Serial correlation - Watson finds clues about serial rapists and Chris Hansen puts them in jail.

What’s INA stand for?

I wrote a meaningless story in a couple of lines to remember the antitakeover measures.

Pre offer measures:

He swallowed a poison pill, he bought himself a cheap life

by the time the poison puts, his life gets demanded.

He staggered across the board , like a 3 year old pig

His voting rights restricted,

His fair price ammended

He now dreams of an after life, on a golden parachute,

Post offer anti-takeover measures

"I can send a greenmail, and pay the bastard off.

or stand here and litigate, fight him through the courts

Just say no, she yelled, avoid the takover

or wait for the strong white knight, he’d buy you over

I will find me a little squire instead, the friend who buys so little.

and then do a pac man - give a counter offer!

PS. I don’t have to memorize the entire lines, but it’s helped me map my mind around some of those names.

hahahahaaaa love it! made my day!

Bloodline - that is legit.

Identifiable Net Assets

yes

New Technology:

Technological advancement matters with the New/Neoclassical Growth Theory but not Classical.

For Quant Methods:

B oys P lay W ith H earts >>> B reush P agan uses W hite to fix H eteroskedasticity

D on’t W orry S wedish H ouse (like the song…) >>> D urbin W atson fixes S erial correltation with H ansen method

M ust R emove T he F **** C onflicts >>> M ulticolliinearity Requires R emoval of C onflicting Variables (using t and F stats)

I’m totally using these during the tests. Bravo mate

all of these are really solid haha
