When I try printing results from your calculator it printed your generic input and not the values that I inputted. It's not the first time that I hear this remark when people try to print out their results. Maybe you alternatively produce a screenshot and print it out. Patricia Dear Patricia We set the volatility at 30 because we considered it to be a good example. This figure is not supposed to be the stock's beta.
Beta is a statistical measure of a specific stock's systematic risk in relation to the market risk.
Daniel Sigrist Dear Mr. Sigrist I came across your website when I was searching for a program that will calculate implied volatility of options. I was wondering if you new of any programs that calculated this, all that I want is the implied volatility, nothing more. If you can be of assistance I would greatly apprciate the help. Either you have the time series of a specific stock and then calculate its volatility, or you know the option price for a specific contract. In these cases options are relatively insensitive towards volatility.
