comment Doesn't a perpetual option contradict the Black-Scholes framework?
@Alexey, I'm not sure I understand. Dynamically hedging the perpetual put would require shorting the stock for arbitrary lengths of time, would it not?

@Freddy, I didn't say that. I said "if".

That's my point though. If shorting stock for arbitrary lengths of time is not allowed, then how can you delta-hedge this perpetual option? And if you can't delta-hedge the option, how is the price you get under risk-neutral pricing argument the price?

Freddy, yes, I'm aware it's a theoretical construct, and my question is a theoretical one. Is that not appropriate for this site? Also, please rest easy that I am occupying the bulk of my time with other thoughts. :)

comment Why do ATM call options have a delta of slightly bigger than 0.5 and not 0.5 exactly?
Using r=0 is a great simplification that shows the real "culprit" behind the greater than 0.5 delta.
