The Finance Book Tag The Book Traveller 2020-03-29 | Welcome to a presentation of The Finance Book Tag.Follow The Book Traveller on: twitter.com/AlanJMoretonBOOKTUBERS MENTIONED:Original tag: David Murphy:youtube.com/watch?v=JyjIMSpA2ns&t=3sTHE PROMPTS:1. Diversification is the averaging out of independent risks in a large portfolio. Hold up a few books we wouldn’t expect to find on your shelves. 2. Past results are not indicative of future outcomes. Tell us about a book or author you disliked (or were indifferent about) on first reading, but gave a second chance and ended up liking. 3. The effect of earning “interest on interest” is known as compound interest. Name a book that has aged remarkably well, or a book that gets better each time you read it. 4. A firm’s current ratio is the ratio of current assets to current liabilities. So, a ratio of 1 means current assets=current liabilities. If current assets are the books in your library you have read, and current liabilities are the books you have not read, is your current ratio above, below, or equal to 1?5. Familiarity bias is the tendency of investors to favour investments in companies they are familiar with. What is a book you go back to out of familiarity?6. Investors are always “seeking alpha,” seeking a non-zero difference between a stock’s expected return and its required return. What is an underrated book, or a book that should be more well-known but isn’t?7. A derivative is a security the payoff of which depends solely on the prices of other marketed assets. Tell us about a book you thought was derivative. 8. A share repurchase is when a company uses cash to buy back its own stock. Tell us about a book you own too many copies of. 9. The Federal Reserve is the lender of last resorts. What is a book your mom or dad bought for you?10. Tag people – but I get it if you don’t.BOOKS MENTIONED:The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Getting Your Romance Published by Julie Beard.Healthy at 100 by John Robbins.The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin.From a College Window by A.C.
