Question
Chapter 12.5, Problem 12.5ACQ
Summary Introduction
To critically think about: The type of average return that the investor should use to forecast the stock market prices for the next one year.
Introduction:
Total return refers to the total income from an investment. The total income includes the periodic incomes and the increase or decrease in the value of an asset.
Average returns refer to the returns that the investments earn in a typical year.
Arithmetic average return refers to the returns that an investment earns in an average year over different periods. Geometric average return refers to the return per year after compounding the average returns for multiple years.

A challenge we run into when forecasting future stock returns is
that stock returns compound. So, when using historical
averages to forecast the future, we need to average together
the arithmetic and geometric average returns using Blume's
Formula:
R(T) = T GeoAvg + NT Arith Avg
N-1
In this formula, N is the number of historical annual returns you
are using to calculate your averages and T is the number of
future annual returns you are forecasting.
Suppose you gather the following prices for a stock in order to
calculate the last 10 (N = 10) annual returns. The stock does not
pay dividends.
