Stock market Some inves-tors believe that stock prices show weekly patterns, claim-ing for example that Fridays are more likely to be “up” days. From the trading ses-sions since October 1, 1928 we selected a random sampleof 1000 days on which the Dow Jones Industrial Aver-age (DJIA) showed a gain in stock prices. The table shows how many of these fell on each day of the week.Sure enough, more of them are Fridays—and Tuesday looks like a bad day to own stocks. Can this be ex-plained as just randomness, or is there evidence here to help an investor? Day ofthe WeekNumber of“up” DaysMon 192Tues 189Wed 202Thu 199Fri 218
Discuss the Thaler wine problem with your group, and summarize the discussion and any conclusions in a few sentences here. “Suppose you bought a case of a good 1982 Bordeaux for $20 a bottle.

Which of the following best captures your feeling of the cost to you of drinking this bottle?” (Thaler, 1999) $0 $20 $20 plus interest $75 -$55 (negative $55 cost) Or something else?
Suppose that this particular study compared a large group of individuals who play squash regularly with those of an equal-sized group who get no exercise at all. Playing squash does provide a good cardiovascular workout. However, we also know that squash players tend to be affluent enough to belong to clubs with squash courts. Wealthy individuals may have great access to health care, which can also improve cardiovascular health. If our analysis is sloppy, we may attribute health benefits to playing squash when in fact the real benefit comes from being wealthy enough to play squash (in which case playing polo would also be associ ated with better heart health, even though the horse is doing most of the work). Or perhaps causality goes the other direction. Could having a healthy heart “cause” exercise? Yes. Individuals who are infirm, particularly those who have some incipient form of heart disease, will find it much harder to exercise. They will certainly be less likely to play squash…

Jade Ltd (Jade) Jade builds and operates fibre optic networks. During the year ended 31 March 20X1, the company incorrectly capitalised costs of £3 million in respect of repairs and maintenance to its networks and included these costs in non-current assets.

The total assets of Jade at 31 March 20X1 are £525 million and the profit before tax for the year ended 31 March 20X1 is £71.3 million.
