Suppose three honest individuals gave you their estimates on your stock’s value. One person is your current roommate, who is a broker. The second person is a broker-dealer with an excellent reputation in the Philippine Stock Exchange. The third person is your co-investor with 20 years of good standing in investing with stocks. If the three have different views, in which one would you have the most confidence? Why?
Typically, people buy shares of stock in the expectation that the stock's price will increase, but it is
also possible to make money by correctly anticipating that a stock's price will decline -- "selling
short." Assume that you think that Volkswagen (VW) stock is going to decline in price over the next
few months because of continuing uncertainty about why the company cheated on its emissions
testing. A share of VW stock is currently selling for $50. You arrange to borrow 100 shares of VW
stock for three months for a price of $1 per share. Three months later, sure enough, VW stock is
selling for only $40 per share. You then purchase 100 shares at $40 each and return the 100 shares
of VW stock that you borrowed. How much money did you make or lose?
Earned $900
O Lost $1,100
Lost $1,000
Earned $1,100
Earned $1,000.

I know that I asked you to invest my money into a very aggressive mutual fund even though you said that it did not fit my investor profile. I know, I know, but I now need to recover. I want you to move my money from this aggressive mutual fund to a technology fund that has done excellent in the last year. Thus, the potential return from this fund is higher, and I think that I can recover from my losses.”
• Carol: “I wanted to thank you for the extraordinary performance of my portfolio in the last few quarters. I think that this situation will not continue in the future, however. Six consecutive quarters of gain? Come on, a loss is overdue, you know? Should I move my money elsewhere? Or, if we keep the money in this portfolio, don’t you think…
