Question
1. (True or false) Suppose I invested $10,000 in stock A 20 years ago and held that
investment (reinvesting dividends, if any) until today. If stock A achieved a positive
annual arithmetic rate of return over this 20-year period, then I must have more
than $10,000 in my investment in this stock today.
2. (True or false). Short-selling allows investors to benefit from price declines.
3. (True or false). Suppose I hold a portfolio of two assets A and B. 40% of my money
is invested in A and the remaining 60% is invested in B. Suppose the risks (return
volatility) of A and B are both 10%. Then, the volatility of my portfolio return will
also be 10%.
