OK, maybe they don't totally suck

I don't know what it's been but I've been doing a really good job with studying this time around. I finished futre and forwards, which is half of the derivative material, and I am in pretty good shape. I still have to do options which will be harder, but I am pretty solid on forwards and futures. If I can do options and swaps as well as the rest then I should be able to do some damage on the derivative portion of the exam. Who knows it may even become a strength.
