In late December you​ decide, for tax​ purposes, to sell a losing position that you hold in​ Twitter, which is listed on t

he​ NYSE, so that you can capture the loss and use it to offset some capital​ gains, thus reducing your taxes for the current year.​ However, since you still believe that Twitter is a good​ long-term investment, you wish to buy back your position in February the following year. To get this done you call your Charles Schwab brokerage account manager and request that he immediately sell your 1 comma 200 shares of Twitter and then in early February buy them back. Charles Schwab charges a commission of ​$4.95 for online stock trades and for​ broker-assisted trades there is an additional ​$25 service​ charge, so the total commission is ​$29.95.
a. Suppose that your total transaction costs for selling the 1,400 shares of Twitter in December were $59.95. What was the bid/ask spread for Twitter at the time your trade was executed?
b. Given that Twitter is listed on the NYSE, do your total transaction costs for December seem reasonable? Explain why or why not.
c. When your February statement arrives in the mail, you see that your total transaction costs for buying the 1,400 shares of Twitter were $47.95. What was the bid/ask spread for Twitter at the time your trade was executed?
d. What are your total round-trip transaction costs for both selling and buying the shares, and what could you have done differently to reduce the total costs?

Answer:

I wouldn't invest.

Risk preference at least 50-50 chance of gain and loose

Explanation:

case of success the return i get is $40000

case of failure i lose $20000.

My analysis shows P40=0.3 of success

And P-20=0.7 of failure.

The probability of a loose is much bigger than the probability of a gain.

So I can't bear the loose of loosing 7 times if about 20000 and gaining 3 times of about 40000 it doesn't balance.

My loose accumulating to 140000

While my gain is 120000.

I can't invest

Hi!

<em>Option C is correct.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation of the choices:

A. - This seems a good choice, however it's not the best choice. Let's come back to it.

B. - This is the best choice because they get to experience first-hand how to manage and make their own money decisions. Choice A might seem good at first, but we can see this is better because they get to make their own decisions and experience hands-on how to do it.

C - This is not a good choice, because it's best to expose children early so they can grow up knowing how to do it.

D - This choice doesn't make sense. What is the point of money if you store it away and don't spend it? This will likely not be a good lesson in the future.

Hope this helps! :D
