The Black-Scholes-Merton Model • 33

Okay, even if the last assumption is a little hard to swallow, the first
|
||||
three sound plausible, especially if you have read something about the
|
||||
efficient market hypothesis (EMH). Suffice it to say that these assumptions
|
||||
express the “orthodox” opinion held by financial economists. Most finan-
|
||||
cial economists would say that these assumptions describe correctly, in
|
||||
broad-brush terms, how markets work. They acknowledge that there may
|
||||
be some exceptions and market frictions that skew things a bit in the real

world but that on the whole the assumptions are true.

Let us now use these assumptions to build a picture of the future

I am just showing one year of historical trading data and three years
|

of calendar days into the future. Let’s assume that we want to use the BSM
|

to predict the likely price of this asset, Advanced Building Corp. (ABC),
|

three years in the future.

The BSM’s first assumption—that markets are efficient and stock

prices are perfect reflections of the worth of the corporation—means that if
