This issue is very common, and though it's not hard to spot, many developers often overlook it because using UPDATE has a natural flow that seems logical.

PV & VFC
Submitted by admin on Tue, 03/22/2011 - 08:45| VFC (Value of Future Cash flows) is an estimate of the value of a deal at this moment in time, based on its known or expected future returns and obligations, and given the prevailing market circumstances. |
| PV (Present Value) means the same thing as VFC (except for positions in exchange-traded futures, where the concept of “value” is in any case somewhat tricky). |
| VFC is the term preferred |

The Black and Scholes Model
Submitted by admin on Wed, 01/05/2011 - 10:25The Black and Scholes Model:
The Black and Scholes Option Pricing Model didn't appear overnight, in fact, Fisher Black started out working to create a valuation model for stock warrants. This work involved calculating a derivative to measure how the discount rate of a warrant varies with time and stock price. The result of this calculation held a striking resemblance to a well-known heat transfer equation. Soon after this discovery, Myron Scholes joined Black and the result of their work is a startlingly accurate option pricing model. Black and Scholes can't take all credit for their work, in fact their model is actually an improved version of a previous model developed by A. James Boness in his Ph.D. dissertation at the University of Chicago.

Submitted by admin on Mon, 01/03/2011 - 23:16Delta risk on interest rate derivatives
The concept of delta risk on interest rate derivatives is a generalization of the traditional one of a single asset option. However, contrary to single asset derivatives, fixed income derivatives are derivatives depending on a variety of instruments, used in the determination of the interest rate curve, rather than a single asset. The delta risk measures precisely the risk associated with the shift of the interest rate curve. Because there are many ways of shifting the interest rate curve, many different deltas can be computed. The most common ones are the following:
