It Was Fifty Years Ago Today

While the seminal contributions of Black Scholes and Merton to options pricing were published in 1973, much was known by them and others in 1969. In this talk, we turn back the clock exactly 50 years and try to determine what was known and not known about pricing options on November 18, 1969.
