Inferior Investment Alternatives Although investing requires the individual to bear risk, the risk can be controlled through the construction of diversified portfolios and by excluding any portfolio that offers an inferior return for a given amount of risk. While this concept seems obvious, one of your clients, Laura Spegele, is considering purchasing a stock that you believe will offer an inferior return for the risk she will bear. To convince her that the acquisition is not desirable, you want to demonstrate the trade-off between risk and return. While it is impractical to show the trade-off for all possible combinations, you believe that illustrating several combinations of risk and return and applying the same analysis to the specific investment should be persuasive in discouraging the purchase. Currently, U.S. Treasury bills offer 2.5 percent. Three possible stocks and their betas are as follows: 1. What will be the expected return and beta for each of the following portfolios? a.…

To determine the instances where the relative strength ratio decreases by minimum 5% from its 5 weeks prior value and to determine the number of weeks immediately following the substantial decrease the banking sector outperforms S&P 500 and how many weeks banking sector underperforms S&P 500.

Introduction:

Relative strength helps to measure the extent to which a security has underperformed or it has outperformed its own industry or the entire market. Relative strength is a ratio of price of security to industry price index.

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 26PS

As per the data, 31 times the relative strength moves decrease by greater than 5%.

Explanation of Solution

Given Information:

The data is available in the given website.

Of the 255 total instances, there are 31 times when the relative strength decreases by greater than 5% over the interval of 5 weeks.

Here it is seen that 17 times the FSRBX underperformed S&P 500 following the decrease of more than 5%.

There are 14 times that FSRBX outperformed S&P 500 following the decrease of more than 5%.

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 26PS

The data above gives the bullish sign and the bearish sign.

Explanation of Solution

Given Information:

The data is available in the given website.

We can see the relative strength depicted in second part of requirement as bullish sign. Here the FB fund is likely to underperform the S&P 500 index than to perform better than the index according to this signal.

We can see the relative strength depicted in third part of requirement as bearish sign. Here the FB fund did not give a better performance than the index but there is no statistical difference succeeding the considerable change in the relative strength. There is random successive performance.
