Negative stock prices can be avoided by using exp(brownian motion) instead. Still, I don't think a normal distribution is a good fit, since it severely underestimates the probability of bigger price movements; so called "black swan events", which happen all the time. A distribution with fatter tails is more appropriate. I think the pareto distribution probably has a too fat tail for most stocks though - so a semi-fat tail distribution is likely the best fit for modeling most assets.

Also the interpretation changes when we use an exp(Brownian motion) doesn't it? Which would complicate things.

[note:I don’t know what I’m talking about when it comes to finance.] What about the Martingale assumption? Would that being violated contradict the Efficient Market Hypothesis or something? Or... Well, I guess momentum trading working (iirc?) sorta maybe implies violating the martingale assumption? Hmm... now I’m wondering how one would measure how well a model is doing. I think maybe you could look at like, the surprisal of the observations under the model, minus the entropy of the model? Or, uh, Hm, well, if things at separate intervals are independent (or across different stocks? Or something that would let you take an empirical average), you could maybe take a KL divergence? Of course, the real test in practice would be “does it make you money”, but pretending that wasn’t the goal and you just wanted an “accurate” model for its own sake, how would you measure its “accuracy” (when it is all stochastic like this)

Crude oil are futures and not stocks. The residual claim right of stocks on earnings just stops at $0 because the company is limited and does not need to come up for additional capital if it files for bankruptcy because it is legally limited. For the future crude oil however the future contracts expired, which means the oil barrels are delivered and because of the storage problem at the time, you did not pay for the oil, but you where paid to store the oil. As you can see very different issues, and barely comparable.

Unlike the equity market, commodity markets have quite inelastic demand. The extreme example of this is in the power market where instantaneous power cannot (on a large scale) be stored. In commodity markets it is essential to have negative price signals. As in the comment above, companies are entities that have limited liabilities.

I can really recommend that second volume book of Shreve. That is where I learnt from when I was new to the subject. It explains things cleary, but don't go into allt the more technical and subtle details to prove everything rigourosly.. This is a good start to understand what is happening. After that I recommend a more detailed book. Shreves other book together with Karatzas "Brownian motion and stochastic calculus" is one such option. This is not a light read, but also a good book.

@@Gerard91999 Don't worry about CFA or finance at all. If you are serious about Quantitative Finance then do MSc either in Quantitative Finance or Mathematics (better if focused in PDE or probability theory) and do lot of good quality computer science projects either in Python, C++ or JAVA. With good skills in Computer Science and Math you could easily crack it.

Neither. But the CFA is cheap compared to the MBA, so if you can, take that. For a quant career, the best is a PHD, where it doesn't matter what you choose to study. Whether phyisics, mathematics or computer science. It depends on your focus and your research interests.

Nice lecture, but in the intro for Wiener stochastic processes, though I'm not a professional quant, I always thought that the stochastic variable was the log of the asset value rather than the asset value itself. This is what it says in Wikipedia too, and using the log has two effects (1) the variable can't go negative and (2) the statistics look similar whatever the lever of the asset, whether its $1 or $1000.

Thanks John, this lecture starts with the Wiener process and progresses to the Geometric Brownian Process where assets prices have the log of asset price as you’ve mentioned
