Synopsis "dynamic hedging,managing vanilla and exotic options"

Destined to become a market classic, Dynamic Hedging is the only practical reference in exotic options hedgingand arbitrage for professional traders and money managers Watch the professionals. From central banks to brokerages to multinationals, institutional investors are flocking to a new generation of exotic and complex options contracts and derivatives. But the promise of ever larger profits also creates the potential for catastrophic trading losses. Now more than ever, the key to trading derivatives lies in implementing preventive risk management techniques that plan for and avoid these appalling downturns. Unlike other books that offer risk management for corporate treasurers, Dynamic Hedging targets the real-world needs of professional traders and money managers. Written by a leading options trader and derivatives risk advisor to global banks and exchanges, this book provides a practical, real-world methodology for monitoring and managing all the risks associated with portfolio management. Nassim Nicholas Taleb is the founder of Empirica Capital LLC, a hedge fund operator, and a fellow at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences of New York University. He has held a variety of senior derivative trading positions in New York and London and worked as an independent floor trader in Chicago. Dr. Taleb was inducted in February 2001 in the Derivatives Strategy Hall of Fame. He received an MBA from the Wharton School and a Ph.D. from University Paris-Dauphine.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb es un ensayista, matemático, filósofo y exoperador de bolsa nacido en Líbano en 1960. Es ampliamente conocido por sus ideas sobre la incertidumbre, el riesgo y la toma de decisiones en contextos impredecibles. Su formación académica combina finanzas, matemáticas y filosofía, y ha enseñado en universidades como NYU y Oxford.

Taleb alcanzó fama internacional con su libro "The Black Swan" (El Cisne Negro), donde introduce el concepto de eventos altamente improbables pero de gran impacto, que suelen ser racionalizados solo después de ocurridos. Esta obra forma parte de su serie filosófica-práctica titulada Incerto, que también incluye Fooled by Randomness, Antifragile, Skin in the Game, entre otros.

Su pensamiento desafía muchas ideas tradicionales de probabilidad y estadística, especialmente en lo que respecta a modelos predictivos en economía y finanzas. Promueve una visión del mundo donde la exposición a la volatilidad y al desorden —cuando se gestiona bien— puede fortalecer a personas, organizaciones e incluso sociedades.

Además de su producción intelectual, Taleb es conocido por su estilo directo, polémico y crítico con el pensamiento académico convencional, los expertos que no arriesgan nada ("sin piel en el juego") y el exceso de confianza en modelos teóricos alejados de la realidad.
