and it's close to 2 mph not 6.8 so I think there's a typo.

Reply to In Finance how is the value of a Derivative judged realistically? And how are Analysts suppose to use Derivatives to make fair assessments of banking solvency? by Dabbing_Squid

If markets are irrational, you can become extremely rich by exploiting markets' biases.

Black-Scholes and other quantitative approaches are used to price options and other derivatives.

Your question mentions derivatives (including options, futures, swaps and more). It seems to refer to credit default swaps. And then makes a blanket statement about irrationality.

I suggest that you start with a simple textbook on derivatives like Hull and learn the terminology plus basic derivatives math so you can reformulate your question more precisely so it is possible to give you a better answer.
