10 Sigma Risk

Personal Blog about Markets and Risk

Home

10 Sigma Risk is a personal blog providing commentary on risk management and data analysis/machine learning in the financial industry. Please contact me at "datasciY.info @ gmail. com" (without spaces) for direct messages. The title, 10 σ risk, (pronounced ten sigma risk), stands for a focus on extreme market events. If we were to call a quiet market volatility level a one-sigma event, then a ten-sigma event is an extremely high volatility event. This type of event is relatively rare, and has occured once every 7 to 20 years in the securities market. The market crash of October 2008 following Lehman Brother's bankruptcy was an extreme event. The October 1987 U.S. stock market crash was another extreme event.
