If having a dog, cat or fish isn’t enough, then you can opt to take care of exotic pets. Exotic pets are animals that are so rare and are an unorthodox pet in a household. Simply put, these are creatures that are normally not imagined to be a pet. Those who have exotic pets are considered to be unique pet owners.

Some exotic pet homeowners have reptiles such as crocodiles and snakes. They also have amphibians such as frogs and turtles. They have rodents like hamsters and mice. These creatures are considered to somehow be normal pets that they’re no longer considered to be that ‘exotic.’ More and more animal lovers are getting interested in experiencing firsthand taking care of what is not the ‘norm’ pets.

Exotic lumber is simply exotic wood that is found around the world. Remember that the term exotic as it’s used here in the US is not what is used in the rest of the world. Consider Mahogany is not considered “exotic” in it’s native central America and Northern South American regions. This is because it’s a material that is readily available in these markets. So don’t let the term “exotic” fool you into believing the wood is in short supply, but only that it’s not local to your area. Philippine Mahogany isn’t really considered “exotic” in that part of the world either. Though it’s still expensive, what makes a wood exotic should really be it’s availability.

Exotic pets are special pets. You can’t buy it in common pet shop or similar place. You can only find these in equally special places. These animals grow in the wild and the jungles, mostly.

If you are really bent on getting an exotic pet, maybe as a gift or as your personal preference, then you have to go to these places to find one.


Product Description
Dynamic Hedging is the definitive source on derivatives risk. It provides a real-world methodology for managing portfolios containing any nonlinear security. It presents risks from the vantage point of the option market maker and arbitrage operator. The only book about derivatives risk written by an experienced trader with theoretical training, it remolds option theory to fit the practitioner’s environment. As a larger share of market exposure cannot be properly captured by mathematical models, noted option arbitrageur Nassim Taleb uniquely covers both on-model and off-model derivatives risks.

The author discusses, in plain English, vital issues, including:

  • The generalized option, which encompasses all instruments with convex payoff, including a trader’s potential bonus.
  • The techniques for trading exotic options, including binary, barrier, multiasset, and Asian options, as well as methods to take into account the wrinkles of actual, non-bellshaped distributions.
  • Market dynamics viewed from the practitioner’s vantage point, including liquidity holes, portfolio insurance, squeezes, fat tails, volatility surface, GARCH, curve evolution, static option replication, correlation instability, Pareto-Levy, regime shifts, autocorrelation of price changes, and the severe flaws in the value at risk method.
  • New tools to detect risks, such as higher moment analysis, topography exposure, and nonparametric techniques.
  • The path dependence of all options hedged dynamically

Dynamic Hedging is replete with helpful tools, market anecdotes, at-a-glance risk management rules distilling years of market lore, and important definitions. The book contains modules in which the fundamental mathematics of derivatives, such as the Brownian motion, Ito’s lemma, the numeraire paradox, the Girsanov change of measure, and the Feynman-Kac solution are presented in intuitive practitioner’s language.

Dynamic Hedging is an indispensable and definitive reference for market makers, academics, finance students, risk managers, and regulators.

The definitive book on options trading and risk management

“If pricing is a science and hedging is an art, Taleb is a virtuoso.” —Bruno Dupire, Head of Swaps and Options Research, Paribas Capital Markets

“This is not merely the best book on how options trade, it is the only book.” —Stan Jonas, Managing Director, FIMAT-Société Générale

“Dynamic Hedging bridges the gap between what the best traders know and what the best scholars can prove.” —William Margrabe, President, The William Margrabe Group, Inc.

“The most comprehensive, insightful, intuitive work on the subject. It is instrumental for both beginning and experienced traders.”—

“A tour de force. That rare find, a book of great practical and theoretical value. Taleb successfully bridges the gap between the academic and the real world. Interesting, provocative, well written. Each chapter worth a fortune to any current or prospective derivatives trader.”—Victor Niederhoffer, Chairman, Niederhoffer Investments

A rare and absolutely enchanting look inside the Harvard of wild animal wranglers

As is obvious to anyone who has read her most e-mailed New York Times article of 2006, “What Shamu Taught Me About a Happy Marriage,” Amy Sutherland knows a thing or two about animals. In Kicked, Bitten, and Scratched, she takes readers behind the gates of Moorpark Community College, where students are taught such skills as how to train a hyena to pirouette and coax a tiger to open wide for a vet exam. As she follows the faculty, student body, and four- footed teaching aides at Moorpark’s Exotic Animal Training and Management program, Sutherland produces a true walk on the wild side, filled with wonder, comedy, occasional heartache, and transcendent beauty.
