can anyone comment on what to know for derivatives

the basics i know

what it is the basic definition, what is included and excluded

types of hedges

where the gains and losses goes for the various hedges

bifurcation

the wiley book goes into crazy details on accoungting for the various hedges - do you think this is an overkill or a highly tested area

how about cramming definitions such as in the money, out of money and swaptions etc
