For my TDAU thinkorswim portfolio I have had some technical problems, but overall after reviewing my portfolio over the last few weeks, I had decided to stay with my investments I made and will definitely be purchasing shares in another company and keeping a close eye on my portfolio. The companies that I originally have in my portfolio are AAPL (Apple), SBUX (Starbucks), and WMT (Wal-Mart). As of 10/5/2017, the current value of my portfolio is $19,566.15 and my portfolio’s rate of return as of 10/5/2017 is 2.08% (415.42/20,000*100).

The portfolio produced a return of 1.92% for one month, ~23% annualized (no compounding). Utilizing all of of our leverage could lead to returns more than twice that annually, 50%+. However, past performance is not always an indication of future results and, of course, that estimate may be overly-optimistic.

The standard deviation provides an estimation of how far above or below the expected value the stock will be compared to the expected return, and the beta is the contribution of the stock to risk to a portfolio. In comparing the beta and standard deviation for the firms, we see correlation in some of the findings. CPB has the lowest standard deviation and a low beta from our calculations suggesting that the stock is

For the second week I took upon a different strategy. I bought stocks in Carpathian Gold, which is a mining company that looks for efficient ways to mine gold in Brazil, and lately the have expanded their production to different parts in Brazil, which should raise their capital gain since they are going to be bringing more gold. I also bought stocks in Yellow Page’s, a company that is well known for hosting ads, and lately they have enhanced their company and expanded through the use of technology and getting Yellow Pages Apps. The third stock that I bought that week was in a company called Excellon Resources, a company that collects minerals and researches on ways that they can be used. Excellon Resources is a company that operates in Mexico and has expanded its project to more parts in Mexico, thus aiming to increase their profits. I also bought stocks in First Nickel Inc. which is a

VICEX, the portfolio, has a total annual return of 77% and an average annual return of 12%. This gives VICEX an average monthly return of about 1%. This portfolio competes pretty well against the S&P 500, however the Sharpe is 0.1755. This is considerably lower than the Sharpe of the S&P 500 meaning that on a risk-adjusted basis, the S&P 500 would be a better investment than VICEX. This was the second lowest return when it is compared to the other individual securities and the S&P 500. The average monthly return was closest to the S&P 500. The standard deviation of VICEX, 0.0475, was the second lowest compared to the individual securities and the S&P 500. A low standard deviation is a good indicator when examining securities since it means that their returns vary minimally.

Lewellen and Lewellen (2014), on the other hand, provides new evidence in line with Fazzari et al (1988). They find that, after controlling for market-to-book ratio, it is possible to find a strong relationship between investment and cashflow. They also provide evidence that when companies are the more probable to be financially constrained - because of insistently negative free cashflow, recurrent low profits, working capital or low dividends - are the most sensitive to cashflow. However, for firms classified as unconstrained, investment is only weakly related to market-to-book and, in fact, after controlling for expected cashflow the relation becomes negative. In addition, for unconstrained firms, a great part of the relation between investment and cashflow can be credited to investment opportunities which are imperfectly captured by market-to-book. For constrained firms, only a small part of the investment-cashflow sensitivity appears to be explained by noise in the proxy of q.
