Topic: Rational investor



  
 Capital Gains Taxes, by Joseph J. Cordes: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of Economics and Liberty
After weighing the advantages of not selling, a rational investor may conclude it is better to keep an asset rather than sell it.
Investors in new businesses generally do not expect to earn dividend or interest payments.
Also, capital losses are deductible in full against capital gains, but if the investor has no capital gains, the deduction for capital losses is limited to three thousand dollars per year.

 Investor Mailing List; mailing list, investors, list of investors, stock investors, wealthy investors
Investors know that there is a lot of money to be made out there, and they know from experience that many individuals and small businesses have great ideas, but lack funding, a crucial part of the success of the business.
Investor Mailing List.com is the premier place online to find an investor, venture capital provider, or partnership sponsor for your business, future business or business idea or plan by providing direct contact information and sources to International Investors looking for Investment Opportunities.
Investors realize this and they are willing to part with just a fraction of their fortune, if there's a possibility that their "Return On Investment" could be at least doubled or more.

 Automatic Investor: Mechanical, Automated Stock Investment Software for Long Term Investing
The answer, of course, is that a rational investor would not do this.
Diversification is the primary tool investors can use to spread their risk between countries, currencies and markets.
By using Automatic Investor to manage each of the individual investments in your portfolio, you're essentially reducing the risk and/or increasing the return for that investment compared to simply buying and holding that investment.

 Are Bull Markets Supported By Rational Growth in Stock Valuations
Given the rationale that all investors are in theory performing the similar present value calculations to value the share of common stock, all else equal, the future market price of the stock should not increase dramatically unless the majority of investors have been consistently underestimating the company’s ability to generate future earnings and pay dividends.
However, it is economically rational for stock prices to rise gradually over the long terms as more investors enter the stock market and the confidence in the market’s ability to generate good returns grows, decreasing the equity risk premium.
Therefore, the growth of a bull market is partially attributed to speculation by new investors who, after seeing the beginning of a bull market (which may be tied to a rational increase in stock valuations), have perceived the stock market as an easy way to earn a high return on their investment.

 Westwood Holdings Group, Inc.
However, given the results of the past two months, we are happy to report that the rational investor has made a triumphant return and now appears to be dictating the course for stocks.
The ensuing correction was much more severe than it would have been had investors recognized the economic and earnings growth peak in mid-1999 and begun to value stocks more rationally.
investors were surprised again by a report stating that core inflation (a.k.a.

 Mainstream Media: The non-rational citizen
Economists who have looked into the complexity of market dynamic have found that the assumption of the 'rational investor' that is foundational in classical economics does not hold up.
Business and government are not simple causal/deterministic systems populated by rational participants, it is all a 'cover' for a much more complex dynamic where the 'outside' (the feminine spatial context) is in a natural precedence over the 'inside' (the masculine assertive agenda).
Every day the media saturates us within inferences that we are all 'rational' people, and that the way the world works, and corporations and governments as well, is by simple cause-and-effect determinism.

 Fool.com: The Individual Investor (Fool On The Hill) October 20, 1998
A rational investor is MUCH less likely to push the sell button than the mutual fund manager who wants to lock in his or her year or is looking for every "performance" edge.
If you believe in the capital asset pricing model, too, that sort of investor is also going to lower your cost of equity, all else being equal.
If educated individuals are far more apt to hold a stock than a mutual fund, then it's common sense that that's the type of investor you want.

The study provided evidence that investors prefer local or familiar stocks even though there may be no rational reason to prefer the local stock over other comparable stocks that the investor is unfamiliar with.
This may seem obvious but it does, in fact, represent a radical break away from traditional economic theory which has previously considered investors as being able to make fully rational decisions and investment valuations.
Money managers, advisors, and investors, are, it seems, consistently overconfident in their ability to outperform the market, even though many fail to do so.

These debt securities a good idea.(BUSINESS and MONEY)(The Rational Investor)
For many investors it would be almost ideal if there were an investment backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury that had lower price volatility than stocks, provided income every six months and protected them against inflation.

 Market Conditions and the Investor's Needs
And finally – which is most important – the rational investor does not look at a gas and oil program as a “fast buck” proposition.
Discerning investors understand that cycles do occur, and that an excellent time to invest is when costs – and gas and oil prices – are not over-inflated by unrealistic expectations.
Why do investors put money in gas and oil projects?

 Alumni Profile: Opening Bedroom Doors
Goodman, who has 40 years of experience as an investor, has found that there’s often something missing in the education of recent graduates entering the investment field.
Investors, the legend goes, rely on all kinds of ridiculous strategies to predict whether the market is going up or down, from looking to astrology and psychoanalysis to gauging the hemline of women’s skirts.
After their first semester, the eight students are awarded summer jobs at Toronto investment dealers, where they learn to analyze securities and recommend them to investors.

So as a rational investor I shall give a lower P/E multiple to a PSU.
Lots of small investors have invested their hard-earned savings in PSUs looking at their undervaluation and consequential public offer.
What would happen to the retail investor who invests in PSU shares in the hope of an open offer some day?

 Sophisticated Investor
An investor, regardless of his/her background, who is relying upon the background, education and competency of a broker for analysis, information and trades of stocks, bonds or mutual funds should not be considered sophisticated.
In very limited circumstances, the investor might use a full service broker if he wished to avail himself of a particular analysts report.
Some might conclude that a sophisticated investor downloads direct stock information into his/her own computer with such services as Value Line, Morningstar, Dow Jones, etc. and trades directly through a discount brokerage firm and/or uses no load mutual funds.

 JFK Slept Here
John K. Castle is as rational an investor as you'll ever find.
At Donaldson Lufkin & Jenrette, Castle became an early pioneer in private equity, the business of pooling cash from well-heeled investors and buying companies with an eye to running them better and realizing higher value.
Over Castle Harlan's 16-year history, its return to investors has averaged a stunning 38.5% a year.

It is based on the preferences of a rational investor with constant absolute risk aversion, and uses exponential utility indifference arguments.
In recent years institutions have increasingly passed the allocation choice down to the individual investor: witness the rise of defined contribution pension plans and the bewildering array of different types of retail investment products.
Abstract: Consider an investor in a financial market who has the opportunity to purchase some information at a given date.

 Goodbody Stockbrokers - Learning - The More Experienced Investor - Mastering Fear and Greed
Essentially, they argue that it is the rational, disciplined and hard-working investor who consistently succeeds in the long-term game of equities.
Investors throughout the world have tried to develop trading strategies which attempt to exploit market frailties.
For example, momentum investors often try to identify stocks with which the market has a love affair and piggyback on this upwardly spiralling bandwagon.

Our hypothetical investor has a portfolio comprising European stocks, US stocks, cash and bonds, and is considering how he should position himself for the next 12 months.
Investors should be prepared to buy junior gold stocks on weakness, but we would avoid any new buying of silver stocks (with one exception) until the silver price shows some sign of strength or, at least, some sign that it is bottoming.
Alternatively, if our investor is value-oriented he might conclude that European stocks now represent better value than US stocks, partly because they have fallen much further than US stocks, and might therefore decide to increase his weighting in European stocks at the expense of US stocks.

 Empirical Rationality in the Stock Market
First, the rational investor is allowed to take model uncertainty into account when asset prices are determined.

This suggest that investors do not and should not ignore approximation errors.

 Rational pricing - Definition of word from Investor Dictionary - Define meaning of Rational pricing
Rational pricing - Definition of word from Investor Dictionary - Define meaning of Rational pricing
Rational pricing is the assumption in financial economics that asset prices (and hence asset pricing models) will reflect the arbitrage-free price of the asset as any deviation from this price will be "arbitraged away".
This assumption is useful in pricing fixed income securities, particularly bonds, and is fundamental to the pricing of derivative instruments.

 The Motley Fool UK: Value Investing 19/04/2002
Unfortunately it appears to me that a lot of small investors are simply not rational.
Whatever your strategy, you should always aim to minimise the risk/reward ratio if you are a serious investor, not merely a punter.
It is not rational to do anything else.

 Irate Investor
I as an investor to the issue at Rs130 per share was initially hesitant as I felt that the issue was a touch overpriced.
Though the bank might have been successful, to some extent, in playing a key role in the industrial development of the country, it has done very little for enhancing the value of its share-holders.
But what tempted me to apply to the issue was the name - which other organization could better handle your hard earned money other than the one which has been assigned the daunting task to develop the industry of our country.

Investors are thoroughly confused by the behavior of securities markets and many have no idea what to do next.
For example, Standard & Poors recently redefined its definition of "Core Earnings," and earnings as defined by "Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" have changed because of a new treatment for handling "goodwill."
