[edit] Terrible Article

Would just like to state that this is a terrible article. I have no idea how to calculate expected shortfall even after reading this entry multiple times. Someone needs to show the working in example two so that people actually have some clue where the numbers came from. This unsigned comment was entered at 00:30 on 2008 January 25 by 128.12.72.119.

I tried to address this (legitimate) criticism. Encyclops (talk) 01:11, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Merge with expected value?

The two concepts are different. If a portfolio has a value of 0 or 2 with 50-50% probabilities, its expected value is 1. However its q-expected shortfall with q=50% is 0. (Koczy 13:49, 28 July 2007 (UTC))

Right, completely different things. Do not merge. Encyclops 22:51, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
