In case anyone here has not viewed the NOVA documentary featuring a couple of gentlemen that need no introduction in finance, namely Bob Merton (who is one of the nicest guys you could ever meet) and Myron Scholes, here it is online: http://bear.cba.ufl.edu/karceski/FIN7447/lectures/trillion dollar bet nova.wmv Enjoy, EQ.

It's worth kicking back after work with a beer in your hand. Entertaining stuff. More or less a history of the Black Scholes model. Nice footage of all the people involved.
You're welcome. I had seen the video a while back, quite entertaining as a few big names in finance (Merton, Scholes, Samuelson, Miller, Melamed, Bodie, Jonas) make an appearance. Funny thing is, only pictures of John Meriwhether(LTCM/Salomons) were shown - as apparently the guy is rather camera shy. I wonder what he is up to these days?
