Buy High, Sell Low?! It is obvious that investors should buy low and
sell high in order to build wealth over time. So why do investors frequently buy high and sell
low?
The investment process involves analytical analysis of investment alternatives that are filtered through a decision process that is fraught with psychological biases. To be a successful investor, you should be able to
use the analytical tools and control your emotions and psychological biases!

Building Wealth Recipe for success:
Start with some cash…
Earn a high rate of return…
Add lots of time…
How important are time and return?

Over a 24-year period, a 9% return leads to twice the wealth of 6% returns, and 12% returns almost quadruple the wealth generated by a 6% return.

Stocks have earned an average return of around 12% per year for the past 50 years. Depending what index is used.
Long-term Treasury bonds have earned around 6% per year. 50%/50% allocation to stocks/bonds would
average around 9% But there is a lot of volatility!

Often evaluated as compensation for taking certain types of risks.

Efficient Market Hypothesis
Idea that every security at every point in time is fairly priced. Implication is that prices are unpredictable
ControversialMarket bubblesMost professional investors don’t beat the market Investment superstarsHard to predict the direction of stock prices

Investment management performance At any point in time, many
investment managers are beating the market for the month, quarter or year. A couple years later, most of these managers are no longer performing so well. Regression to the mean

Compound Frequency Mortgages and auto loans use monthly
payments and compounding Dividends paid quarterly Bonds pay semi-annually
Adjust the number of periods and rate
What is the future value of a $1,000 investment 3 years from now if it receives a 9% annual return compounded (A) annually, (B) quarterly, and (C) continuously?
Solution: (A) Future value = $1,000 X (1 + 0.09)3 = $1,295
(B) Future value = $1,000 X (1 + 0.0225)12 = $1,306(C) Future value = $1,000 X e0.09x3 = $1,310

Behavior is important too
Incentives Stockbroker and
