4 Course Objectives Personal financial preparation Professional preparation Extensive overview of finance markets To encourage entrepreneurship and to discuss means of finance A means of reviewing theory although not substantial theory content in this course... that's in Econ 136. Investment Objectives Intermediate and long-term targets Low double-digit is realistic I do talk a lot about short term trading in this class, but the emphasis is in intermediate and long-term goals. Adjusted by attitude about risk Avoid catastrophic loss Consider tax consequences Diversification Mix equities and YBFAs 4
5 Major Securities Markets Equities (stocks) NYSE Euronext, NASDAQ, BATS, Direct Edge, Electronic Clearing Networks (ECNs), global EXs Yield-bearing Bills, Notes and Bonds (YBFAs) U.S. Treasuries, Corporates, Municipals, exotics Money Market Financial Assets (MMFA) Real Estate Derivatives Options and Futures Foreign Exchange (FOREX) markets The essential features and differences Equities (stocks) The buyer will legally own a very small percentage of a publicly-traded corporation. Performance is determined by rises (capital gains) and declines (capital losses) in the price of the stock. Some stocks pay dividends. Yield-Bearing Financial Assets YBFAs Bonds, notes, bills, etc. These are debt instruments. You are legally making a loan to the issuer and are promised an interest yield in return. You may also suffer modest capital gains or losses with YBFAs. 5
6 The essential features (cont) Derivatives A financial asset that is contractually linked to an underlying primary financial asset or commodity. Examples: An call option on AMD that is linked to AMD stock or a Crude Oil futures contract that is linked to the price of crude oil Performance is determined by gains and losses in the price of the derivative. Real Estate From a strictly financial perspective, performance is determined by gains or losses in the price of the real estate owned. Composite Diversified Investments Mutual funds, ETFs and ETNs MF: Hugely popular diversified investment funds that pool investors money to purchase large quantities of many stocks (equity funds), many YBFAs (yield-bearing funds), or both (mixed funds). ETF/ETN: Pool assets like mutual funds, but traded like stocks, can invest in just about anything, including short and leveraged. Hd Hedge funds Investments are restricted by income and wealth requirements. Can invest in absolutely anything, including derivatives. Relatively unregulated. 6
7 How much of this is accessible to you? By opening a brokerage account (online recommended), nearly every financial asset discussed in this class is accessible to you, typically easily, conveniently, and at very low transactions costs (if done online). Mutual funds can be easily accessed by opening an account at one or more of the many mutual fund families or through brokerage accounts. YBFAs are little harder to buy and sell and fees are a little higher, h but brokers will handle these as well (not always online though). U.S. Treasuries can be bought and redeemed through Treasury Direct (including online). Most online brokers and mutual funds accept very small initial accounts. 1,800 1,600 About markets today... 3/24/ /9/ ,400 1,200 1,000 8/29/ /9/ /9/ so-so years (the S&P 500) 0 You can either view this as a disaster or an opportunity. (Alas, for many who were unprepared, it was nothing but a disaster). For you, being so young, it is an opportunity. 7
