The assumption the price fluctuations are Gaussian would have been strongly refuted if they had just looked at their own data.

It does not ding any bells that will help you, while a hedge can be beneficial (ex: SW Air) it is not inherently good or bad. That comes from the usage that origins witin corruption of bias and greed. The two experts above are ever worth a heed, and my first recommends are ever google and wiki. If you skip the book you're talking about a timeline of at least a few thousand years. I've no idea of what their version of 'chapters' is about, good luck on that.
[although you could include something yourself here to give other experts some idea of what is within the chapters you need help with]
