Amphenol Case Summary

Over the course of the previous and current semester I have had the opportunity to experiment with investing on a level that I have never been able to before. Using Stock Trak, I was able to try out various methods of investing that I normally would not have had the chance to do. Using the $500,000 dollars that Stock Trak starts you off with, I had the opportunity to invest in options, futures, high end mutual funds, and bonds. I have learned a bit through this experience that will benefit me for the rest of my life. Although it was not a perfect experience; and there was more I wish I would have gained, there is no doubt that I will benefit from this experience. For the rest of this paper, I will be discussing how I used Stock Trak, the things I would have changed, what I learned, and how I plan to apply this experience to the rest of my life.

Although this investment class can be considered the most conservative of the three, the low yield of government bonds in the past 10 years does not lend a comparative metric against many other investment opportunities (Jacobs, 2012). The fixed rate of these instruments allows for a guaranteed return, but should only be utilized at a point in an investing cycle when risk is higher than potential income growth. The 25% allocation that is invested in this class is positioned to provide a long term guaranteed investment, with the possible that these lower rates will not rise significantly in the next few years.

The historic average returns from 1950 to 1996 and from 1929 to 1996 are given In Exhibit 3. We chose the latter time period as we considered it would give us a more reliable estimate of the risk-free rate by discounting both the Second World War and the Great Depression.

Ameritrade is investing $100 million dollars in technology, which is considered a long-term investment, in order to become the largest brokerage firm. We consider their

While we are in the midst of a recovery, it remains in the context of a high-risk, slow-growth world. Government debt as a percentage of GDP has risen substantially since the financial crisis and is acting as a drag on economies. Ultimately, growth in real GDP depends on growth in the workforce and growth in productivity; neither appears promising. Given that backdrop, the portfolio remains invested in companies that have proven that they can grow their free cash flow, even in a tepid economic environment, and have a disciplined approach to allocating cash that will create value for shareholders.

However, growth investors are especially looking for firms that have speed up their earnings which are ahead of their industry group, which is the firms grow their earnings faster than the market over a long period the stock price will rise faster than it will for slower growing firms or the market in general. Instead of looking for firms that are devalued relative to their assets and current earnings, growth investors look for firms that whose future forecasts and earnings are being devalued by the market. There are several elements under basic concepts of growth investing that must be considered when assessing in investment growth which is the growth rate, the type and amount of risk and other elements that play an important role. Therefore, the data that growth investors and experts examine are

Gittman (2004, pp. 312) divided stock into two types, such as common stock and preferred stock. He also showed that dividends are the outcome of investment. So, common stocks are an ownership claim against primarily real or productive asset (Higgins, 1995), but he also said that if the company prospers, stockholders are the chief beneficiaries, if it falters, they are the chief losers. Smith (1988) presented that stocks are one of the most popular forms of investment. People buy stocks for various reasons: some are interested in the long-term growth of their investment by buying low priced stock of a new company in the hope of substantially growth of share price over the next few years. Another reason he suggested that in a well established firm stockholders expect the stock growth will be stable over the long run. (Smith,1988).

Apart from the volatile nature of equities which may lead to a significant reduction in investment value for investors, equities are subject to capital gains tax on gains at disposal, and income tax on dividend income. As such including investments other than equity in an investors overall portfolio not only counteracts the risk of volatility but may also offer an opportunity for tax efficiency. Even when equities are performing well, these other assets should also provide reasonable
