Allen Young has always been proud of his personal investment strategies and has done very well over the past several years. He invests primarily in the stock market. Over the past several months, how ever, Allen has become very concerned about the stock market as a good investment. In some cases it would have been better for Allen to have his money in a bank than in the market. During the next year, Allen must decide whether to invest $ 10,000 in the stock market or in a certificate of deposit (CD) at an interest rate of 9%. If the market is good, Allen believes that he could get a 14% return on his money. With a fair market, he expects to get an 8% return. If the market is bad, he will most likely get no return at all - in other words, the return would be 0%. Allen estimates that the probability of a good market is 0.4, the probability of a fair market is 0.4, and the probability of a bad market is 0.2, and he wishes to maximize his long - run average return.

Your friend told you that she invested $1,000 in a portfolio of large-company stocks 5 years ago and also reinvested the dividends. Her investment grew to $3,456 as at today. Had she invested that same amount in a Government bond she would have received $2,500 even if she reinvested the 10 percent coupons paid on the bonds. Given this information, critically discuss why anyone would want to invest in bonds rather than stocks? Further explain why the price of many individual stocks still go down, even when the overall stock market goes up. How can you avoid the value of your stock from going down?

However, the interest income he receives has dwindled to only 2 percent a year on his $200,000 in savings as interest rates in the economy have dropped. You have been thinking about recommending that he purchase some corporate bonds with at least part of his savings as a way of increasing his interest income.
Specifically, you have identified three corporate bond issues for your grandfather to consider. The first is an issue the Young Corporation that pays annual interest based on a 7.8 percent coupon rate and has 10 years before it matures. The second bond was issued by Thomas Resorts and it pays 7.5 percent annual interest and has 17 years until it matures. The final bond issue was sold by Entertainment, Inc., pays an annual coupon interest payment based on a rate of 7.975 percent, and has only 4 years until it matures. All three bond issues have a $1,000 par…
