I am sorry to post an individual question like a thread. But to be honest I am surprised. Unlike other forums which do allow you to do that here I have to post in a thead only.

Moreover I did perform a search before posting my question. As the search did not yield any results I posted in the quant section. I didnt realise that I need to post it in existing threads.
