[edit] Too technical
I think this page needs to be reworded and slightly dumbed down. I understand it because I'm already very familiar with the concepts but an average person would probably be confused. Also most of the links go back to this page due to redirects, I believe the redirects should be removed so more in depth discussion on different options can take place. I'll start working on sub pages sometime in the future. Ignignot 14:10, Aug 11, 2004 (UTC)
[edit] "Bermudan"
Not sure if that is correct. The proper adjectival form of "Bermuda" is "Bermudian", so if it's the adjective you want, that's the correct spelling. Noel (talk) 20:11, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
- you're right - technically it should be "Bermudian". Unfortunately, the bankers who came up with the term used Bermudan, and that's what this type of option has always been called. - DocendoDiscimus 23:42, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Origin
Does someone know why options are described as "american", "european", "asian", etc. ? Obviously, it has nothing to do with the continents since most options traded in the world are american-style.
[edit] Good job
Thank you very much for this article. It gets one's terminology straight. I have been searching for the definition of a "best of" option for ages. Now I know it is one of the rainbow options and can learn more about it under the correct name. This is what I call the gift of knowledge! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.108.109.102 (talk) 15:39, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
