few issues

February 5, 2015

My FM447 student Gevorg Saakyan pointed out a few typos

The tail index on page 1 uses the letter t where it  should use ι.

Chapter 1, page 8. The date in the code comment does not correspond to the date in the code.

Chapter 8.2 Backtesting the S&P 500, pages 147-148. The dates in the text do not correspond with the dates in the code, the code should use February 2, this means that the  number of observations is not 4000.
