Why is it that the article doesn't explain more about Long Term and the failures of Black Scholes formuula?

This article reads like a Merton fan site. That Baker library bit is especially obnoxious. Can I get an amen? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.91.218.50 (talk) 03:34, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Yeah, I'm not quite sure about the value of Black Scholes model....which contributed to the development of "weapons of financial mass destruction"...

Expensing Stock Options has been advocated by Warren Buffett (see his 1998 Berkshire annual letter) before Merton... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.9.127.34 (talk) 18:01, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

what does the C in Robert C Merton stand for??

[edit]

his middle name seems to be controversial. anyone know what it is? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.174.145.230 (talk) 01:15, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No idea, but I think I'll change it to simply C. until someone brings some verifiable source for the nameAdamSmithee 07:46, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The article now gives C = Cox, but there are no sources for this - everywhere his name is simply Robert C. Merton. I suggest reverting until a source is found. Albmont (talk) 17:01, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Several sources indicate that Cox is correct, unfortunately I can't find any that would quickly and painlessly pass muster as RS. Looks like it's still in the lede anyhow. BelBivDov (talk) 03:17, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
