About time

Article Abstract:

Investors need to consider a holding period for their stocks. Short holding periods involve large dealing costs, and longer periods involve difficult assessments of correlations between stocks. It is also unclear whether past behavior can provide clues as to future performance when we are examining the 1970s and 1980s which were periods of high inflation. Holding periods can be valuable in imposing discipline and preventing lapses from overweighting of certain information, overconfidence, or lack of understanding of randomness.

He loves me really

Article Abstract:

Economists and investors can make errors when interpreting evidence in order to strengthen beliefs that they already hold. Thus, economists forecasting low inflation may stress such factors as the high value of a currency, or low level of inflation in the present. Investors can also spend too long in deciding whether to make an investment, and lose opportunities through delays. Patterns may be perceived in sequences that are random. A sense of certainty in judgements may be strengthened when the opposite should be the case.
