Published / Preprint: Power Utility Maximization in Discrete-Time and Continuous-Time Exponential Levy Models. (arXiv:1103.5575v3 [q-fin.PM] UPDATED)

Posted: 26 Apr 2012 05:30 PM PDT

Consider power utility maximization of terminal wealth in a 1-dimensional continuous-time exponential Levy model with finite time horizon.

Under minimal assumptions we prove convergence of the optimal discrete-time strategies to the continuous-time counterpart. In addition, we provide and compare...

Secrets to Building Wealth Building Wealth is difficult. It's somewhat like a gauntlet. According to Sports Illustrated 60% of NBA athletes and 80% of NFL athletes are broke within five years of retiring.

Blog Post: MusingsonMarkets: Governments and Value II: Subsidies and Value

Posted: 26 Apr 2012 11:22 AM PDT

In my last post, I looked at the negative effects on equity value of the threat of government expropriation (nationalization). In this one, I want to focus on the more benign (and perhaps positive) impact that governments can have the values of some companies, through subsidies in one of many forms: providing or facilitating below-market rate financing, special tax benefits, revenues or price...

Blog Post: FinanceClippings: Coca Cola's stock split

Posted: 26 Apr 2012 07:28 AM PDT

Coke is in the news because it has just announced a 2:1 stock split.  Predictably the price went up on the announcement, although the reasons why the price should go up are shaky at best.
