 Westwood Holdings Group, Inc.
However, given the results of the past two months, we are happy to report that the rational investor has made a triumphant return and now appears to be dictating the course for stocks.
The ensuing correction was much more severe than it would have been had investors recognized the economic and earnings growth peak in mid-1999 and begun to value stocks more rationally.
This decline is indicative of a correction spurred by a much needed reduction in investor risk appetite, and there is now a good deal of caution being displayed by investors as opposed to the euphoria witnessed during much of the previous 12 months.

Investors should be prepared to buy junior gold stocks on weakness, but we would avoid any new buying of silver stocks (with one exception) until the silver price shows some sign of strength or, at least, some sign that it is bottoming.
Alternatively, if our investor is value-oriented he might conclude that European stocks now represent better value than US stocks, partly because they have fallen much further than US stocks, and might therefore decide to increase his weighting in European stocks at the expense of US stocks.
Our hypothetical investor has a portfolio comprising European stocks, US stocks, cash and bonds, and is considering how he should position himself for the next 12 months.

 Investor Mailing List; mailing list, investors, list of investors, stock investors, wealthy investors
Investors know that there is a lot of money to be made out there, and they know from experience that many individuals and small businesses have great ideas, but lack funding, a crucial part of the success of the business.
Investors realize this and they are willing to part with just a fraction of their fortune, if there's a possibility that their "Return On Investment" could be at least doubled or more.
Investor Mailing List.com is the premier place online to find an investor, venture capital provider, or partnership sponsor for your business, future business or business idea or plan by providing direct contact information and sources to International Investors looking for Investment Opportunities.

 Mainstream Media: The non-rational citizen
Economists who have looked into the complexity of market dynamic have found that the assumption of the 'rational investor' that is foundational in classical economics does not hold up.
Meanwhile, those that preach that rationality and determinism are really and truly how things work (and who may believe this themselves) have the 'ever-living bejesus scared out of them' whenever someone tries to lift the curtain of the facade and expose the true non-rationality and non-determinism of our common living space.
The rational system illusion serves to hide the fact that the system is exploiting and abusing those who participate in it at a level that keeps them just below their 'avalanche triggering' threshold.

 Automatic Investor: Mechanical, Automated Stock Investment Software for Long Term Investing
The answer, of course, is that a rational investor would not do this.
If investors are willing to accept greater risk, then they must be compensated with greater returns (no matter how little or how much greater).
By using Automatic Investor to manage each of the individual investments in your portfolio, you're essentially reducing the risk and/or increasing the return for that investment compared to simply buying and holding that investment.

 Sophisticated Investor
An investor, regardless of his/her background, who is relying upon the background, education and competency of a broker for analysis, information and trades of stocks, bonds or mutual funds should not be considered sophisticated.
Invariably in most arbitrations, attorneys wish to expose the plaintiff as a sophisticated investor able to judge the merits and risks of an investment.
In very limited circumstances, the investor might use a full service broker if he wished to avail himself of a particular analysts report.

A rational investor is MUCH less likely to push the sell button than the mutual fund manager who wants to lock in his or her year or is looking for every "performance" edge.
They're rational Moms and Dads, business owners, retirees, and genuinely hard-working Americans that are doing the most intelligent and businesslike thing with their excess earnings.
These are investors who aren't the amphetamine-driven SOES traders that people like John Steffens must imagine them to be.

 Are Bull Markets Supported By Rational Growth in Stock Valuations
Given the rationale that all investors are in theory performing the similar present value calculations to value the share of common stock, all else equal, the future market price of the stock should not increase dramatically unless the majority of investors have been consistently underestimating the company’s ability to generate future earnings and pay dividends.
Therefore, the growth of a bull market is partially attributed to speculation by new investors who, after seeing the beginning of a bull market (which may be tied to a rational increase in stock valuations), have perceived the stock market as an easy way to earn a high return on their investment.
However, it is economically rational for stock prices to rise gradually over the long terms as more investors enter the stock market and the confidence in the market’s ability to generate good returns grows, decreasing the equity risk premium.

 EconPapers: Rational Beliefs and Security Design
Investor "rational beliefs" are modeled as varying and yet rational in the sense of Kurz (1994).
With two investors, optimal designs are similar under rational beliefs and rational expectations.
We demonstrate that the common practice of issuing multiple securities backed by a single asset is optimal under rational beliefs but not under rational expectations.

Essentially, they argue that it is the rational, disciplined and hard-working investor who consistently succeeds in the long-term game of equities.
Investors throughout the world have tried to develop trading strategies which attempt to exploit market frailties.
For example, momentum investors often try to identify stocks with which the market has a love affair and piggyback on this upwardly spiralling bandwagon.

 Capital Gains Taxes, by Joseph J. Cordes: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of Economics and Liberty
After weighing the advantages of not selling, a rational investor may conclude it is better to keep an asset rather than sell it.
Also, capital losses are deductible in full against capital gains, but if the investor has no capital gains, the deduction for capital losses is limited to three thousand dollars per year.
Such investors may also suffer capital losses if the new venture is unprofitable.

The study provided evidence that investors prefer local or familiar stocks even though there may be no rational reason to prefer the local stock over other comparable stocks that the investor is unfamiliar with.
This may seem obvious but it does, in fact, represent a radical break away from traditional economic theory which has previously considered investors as being able to make fully rational decisions and investment valuations.
Investors may overestimate their skills; attributing success to ability they don’t possess and seeing order in information or data where it doesn’t exist.

For many investors it would be almost ideal if there were an investment backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury that had lower price volatility than stocks, provided income every six months and protected them against inflation.

Of course, share trading is much closer to a zero sum game, which means the average pure share investor will always outperform the average pure share trader.

Unfortunately it appears to me that a lot of small investors are simply not rational.
It is not rational to do anything else.
Whatever your strategy, you should always aim to minimise the risk/reward ratio if you are a serious investor, not merely a punter.

And finally — which is most important — the rational investor does not look at a gas and oil program as a “fast buck” proposition.
Discerning investors understand that cycles do occur, and that an excellent time to invest is when costs — and gas and oil prices — are not over-inflated by unrealistic expectations.
Why do investors put money in gas and oil projects?

Rational pricing - Definition of word from Investor Dictionary - Define meaning of Rational pricing
Rational pricing is the assumption in financial economics that asset prices (and hence asset pricing models) will reflect the arbitrage-free price of the asset as any deviation from this price will be "arbitraged away".
This assumption is useful in pricing fixed income securities, particularly bonds, and is fundamental to the pricing of derivative instruments.
