95
Q

Familiarity Bias

A

: Investors favour investments in companies with which they are familiar

96

A

Investors care more about the performance of their portfolios relative to their peers

97
Q

Hanging on to losers and the disposition effect:

A

An investor holds on to stocks that have lost their value and sell stocks that have risen in value since the time of purchase

98
Q

Attention

A

Individuals are more likely to buy stocks that have recently been in the news and advertising, experienced exceptionally high trading volume, or have had extreme returns

Q

Mood

A

Sunshine generally has a positive effect on mood, and studies have found that stock returns tend to be higher when it is a sunny day at the location of the stock exchange

100
Q

Experience

A

Investors appear to put too much weight on their own experience rather than considering all the historical evidence. As a result, people who grew up and lived during a time of high stock returns are more likely to invest in stocks than are people who experienced times when stocks performed poorly

101

117
Q

Consequences of share repurchase

A

1) The more cash the firm uses to repurchase shares, the less it has available to pay dividends.

121
Q

Enterprise value multiples

A

V0/EBITDA or FCF/EBITDA/rwaac-gfcf

122
Q

Limitations of multiples

A

First challenge: how to adjust for differences in expected future growth rates, risk, or differences in accounting policies.
2) Comparables only provide information regarding the value of a firm relative to other firms in the comparison set.
▪ Using multiples will not help us determine if an entire industry is overvalued.
