Question 8 Suppose that you have $10,000 to invest, and you can invest it in stocks or bonds. Each month, bonds yield a certain return of 1.1%. Each month, stocks yield a risky return of 2% with probability 0.8 and - 1.2% with probability 0.2. Assume returns are independent across months. You choose your portfolio as suggested by Benartzi & Thaler. Let x be the change in your portfolio's value between now and the next time you evaluate your portfolio....

An investment company would like to know which stocks to invest in to achieve maximum return. At the start of every day of the week (Monday through Friday) they decide how much to invest on that day, for example, X dollars. If in the next day they are able to match the initial investment (the X dollars) with another investment half that amount (X/2 dollars) they can expect a total return on the third day that doubles the initial amount...
