| stefdunk | how about we just do price times duration times 0.0001? |
| derektl2 | that the way i prefer to look at it too... since duration is the price percentage change due to 100 basis points change in yield |
| Richie188 | 1% of the duration x price / 100 |
| johntan1979 | Not that it matters but you should be getting a non-rounded answer of $0.024976 |
| tomalot | Yeah it doesn't matter dude |
Your review questions and global ranking system were so helpful.
