message: The last version was a complete rip of this page: , so I deleted it all. I somehow clicked the minor edit change by accident too. Stev87 23:15, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

message: My interest is in the history of lacemaking and I have recently updated the Wikipedia entry on  Carrickmacross lace.[]. I propose:
1. To insert a link to that page.
2. To insert historical material about the origin of the lace in 1820, its development in the 1840s, and its decline thereafter. At present there is no information about this, the description starting with the 1890s revival by "The Nuns" (more precisely, the Sisters of St Louis).
Although I am not Irish and have no association with the town of Carrickmacross, I trust that inserting such historically uncontrovertable material does not meet with any objection.

Talk:Constant proportion portfolio insurance

message: * Features: Crash size, guarantee level, initial equity exposure, Relev/Delev-raging triggers, fixed/floating floor, contingent/non-contingent/leverage fees
* Risk: crash risk, vol risk in the way that a too volatile underlying will rebalance too often if the RL/DL triggers are too close, one not vol enough will never rebalance.
* Evolution: add contingent coupons, lock in profits to increase the guarantee, target coupon redemption
* Exotic features: bond + call on a CPPI to replicate exactly the payoff of the CPPI, best of several CPPI, etc.
* What does it mean that the writer buys a bond and uses the proceeds to get the needed exposure? If I buy a bond, someone else has the proceeds of selling me the bond.

*120:60:620 should be 120:60:820

Dear All, I'm unfamiliar with annotations in Wikipedia, so please accept my apologies in case I do this incorrectly. 
For the section/stanza 
Practical CPPI
Where rebalancing would cause it to be 
120:60:620
I believe this is a typo and should say 
120:60:820
Conceptually easy to check... 
Start with 1M = 1000K
120K:60K:(1000K-(120K+60K))= 
120K:60K:(1000K-180K)= 
120K:60K:820K 
I hope I was able to get my view across. 
Very many thanks in advance for any comments.

thread_title:  Needs to be finished - Notes 

message: The article states, in the bond floor section, that the CPPI structure actually contains a bond. This is not correct: The CPPI allocates to a risky asset (underlying) and a risk-free asset, which is (short-term) cash, usually of the same maturity as the rebalancing period (to ensure cash is available, should the CPPI be able to increase risky asset allocation at the next rebalancing). The bond floor itself is of calculatory nature only.
The absence of a bond investment in CPPI is indeed a key feature of the structure. Unlike for ZB+C, CPPI market value is (almost) not interest rate sensitive. Actually, CPPI react well to interest rate increases, as the buffer/distance increases with a falling bond floor, and therefore, the structure's risk capacity augments (=> potential for additional future exposure in risky asset).
Thanks in advance for considering these aspects in future versions.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.73.238.143 (talk) 22:36, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Map

message: I think the article should be renamed to "Seattle-Tacoma Metropolitan Area" because Tacoma is not a suburb of Seattle (and has a well defined core), and it is major enough to appear on most globes (Example: ). Moreover, It has a port busier than Seattle's, Tacoma is in the official MSA name (although so is Bellevue, but that's just a suburb/boomburb), and the Airport is named after both Seattle, and Tacoma Howpper
:The airport's name is a leftover from an agreement between the cities signed in the 1940s. The ports have merged and thus traffic is irrelevant now. MSA names are rarely the WP:COMMONNAME for metro areas. And Tacoma is definitely a suburb, even with a well-defined core like other area suburbs (Everett, Arlington, Kirkland, Edmonds, Kent, etc.).

Almost all are present and appear therefore to have the legal definition of charitable organization.  I checked for example University Canada West to check for the status of for-profit enterprises, and it wasn't found in the database, but I wasn't sure if that was due just to how the university is a relatively new creation.  I hadn't thought of checking Devry, and so I just did, and it also was not found.  So my current assumption is that all public, non-profit and private, non-profit universities and colleges are charitable organizations.  This does leave a few exceptions like Devry, but this information is still interesting for all the other universities, perhaps a seperate list or category could be made to note their status as charitable organizations.

text: I could be wrong, I suppose (wouldn't be the first time), but my impression was always that many public universities and colleges have separate charitable foundations incorporated for things like fundraising, but that the institutions themselves weren't charities per se. I wouldn't object to readding the category if it's appropriate, but I'd prefer that we had a clearer source than the presence of universities in the federal charity database (which could just as easily be explained by the foundations.)
