6.3. PROPERTIES OF GEOMETRIC BROWNIAN MOTION 213



  1. What is the probability that Geometric Brownian Motion with param-
    etersμ= 0 andσever rises to more than twice its original value? In
    economic terms, if you buy stock whose fluctuations are described by
    Geometric Brownian Motion, what are your chances to double your
    money?

  2. Derive the probability of ruin (the probability of Geometric Brownian
    Motion hittingA <1 before hittingB >1).
