| ashish100 | Wtf wish they'd explain this better. AN please explain 100 dollars don't grow on trees brah |
| davidt87 | ashish100 i'm hating this section too. i guessed it because i assume a change in level of the curve will impact each rate in the same direction, and all of Factor 1 values were negative. Factor 2 appears to be steepness as you can see the shorter term rates are positive while the longer terms are negative - if you imagine how that would change a graph I think it would flatten it Factor 3 appears to be curvature because the middle is sinking and the short/long term values are positive Disclaimer: i have no fcking clue whats going on in this reading |
I was very pleased with your notes and question bank. I especially like the mock exams because it helped to pull everything together.
