Fixed income assignment

Posted 2009-02-25 (水) 午後12:35 by terra

This is a group project assignment in my Masters course for fixed income in which we attained pretty good marks: 28/30. Putting it up here for reference. The topic is as follows:

On 1 January 2005, you are considering two investment opportunities. A six month risk-free bond with 4% p.a. coupon is priced at 98.45. It has a $1,000 par value and will mature on 30 June. Alternatively, you could invest in a one-day risk-free short-term note for which the return for the six-month period (1 January 2005 to 30 June 2005) is currently unknown. You are provided with the historical yields of the note. Using only the information provided, would you purchase the bond or the note? Write a report giving your recommendation.

Upgraded to Drupal 6.9

Posted 2009-02-18 (水) 午前1:59 by terra

After 3 day’s of effort, I’ve finally managed to upgrade the site to Drupal 6.9. Much of the time was spent trying to re-theme the site, which turned out to be a painful process. There’s some stuff I’ve yet to figure out so one might notice a couple of quirks in the text formatting for example, but for the most part it seems ok…

Blogging from my latest toy, the Asus EEE PC 900HA. Finally got my hands on it after half a week of painful waiting. But it’s all worth it cos I managed to get it in time for my birthday :)

Had a great birthday dinner today. Thanks to all the friends who came and celebrated with me.

Lehman Minibonds

Posted 2008-09-19 (金) 午後11:52 by terra

Over the past week I’ve been sort of semi-obsessed with following up on news on the whole financial mess thats going around the world (who isn’t?). One topic very close to home would be the Lehman Minibombs (sic) that’s gotten lots of Singaporeans into trouble.

Arrival of first book from The Book Depository!

Posted 2008-08-29 (金) 午後5:44 by terra

About nearly two weeks ago, after having found out about The Book Depository’s free worldwide shipping and handling, I immediately placed an order for Jay Rubin’s* Making Sense of Japanese (ISBN-13 9784770028020) book that I so really wanted, yet would cost so much if ordered from Amazon. I paid only £5.98 in total!! Such a steal ^_^. Anyway the book arrived and I must say I’m not disappointed at all. (Actually I already read quite a number of pages from this book via Amazon before getting the book so there’s no way I would have been disappointed)
