TIME VALUE OF MONEY
A dollar today is worth more than a dollar tomorrow due to its potential to earn interest
Example
$100 received today and invested at 5% will be worth $105 in a year
You Try It:
What is the FV of
$500 invested
today at a rate of 6% in 1 year?
How to calculate: FV=PV (1+i)N
FV=Future Value; i=interest ratePV = Present Value; N = years
FV = $100(1+.05)1
![Page 15: Brooklyn Public Library Mina Ennin Black. About Me Former Merrill Lynch Financial Advisor- managed over half a billion in assets Almost 10 years experience.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649da05503460f94a8b719/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
How to calculate: FV=PV (1+i)N
FV = $500(1+.06)1 = $530
![Page 16: Brooklyn Public Library Mina Ennin Black. About Me Former Merrill Lynch Financial Advisor- managed over half a billion in assets Almost 10 years experience.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649da05503460f94a8b719/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
RULE OF 72
A simple way to determine how long it will take for an investment to double in value
Example
$100 invested at
5% will double in
14.4 years
How long will it take for $1,000 invested at
10% to double?
How to calculate: # of years to double = (72/i)I = interest rate
Answer: 7.2 years

The Stock Market
An everyday term used to talk about a place where stocks and bonds are “traded”
Companies use the stock
market as a way to raise
money
Did You Know?

world stock
market is $36
trillion?
![Page 18: Brooklyn Public Library Mina Ennin Black. About Me Former Merrill Lynch Financial Advisor- managed over half a billion in assets Almost 10 years experience.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649da05503460f94a8b719/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Diversification
Reducing risk by investing in different kinds of securities
Limit your risk exposure to a specific investment –
choose stocks that
are made up of different industries
A portfolio with all
technology stocks is not diversified
A portfolio: a collection of investments
![Page 19: Brooklyn Public Library Mina Ennin Black. About Me Former Merrill Lynch Financial Advisor- managed over half a billion in assets Almost 10 years experience.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649da05503460f94a8b719/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
INVESTMENT INCOME
Income from interest payments, dividends, capital gains collected upon the sale of a security and any other profit made through an investment
Examples
Dividends, interest and rent
It is possible to
live off your
investment income
![Page 20: Brooklyn Public Library Mina Ennin Black. About Me Former Merrill Lynch Financial Advisor- managed over half a billion in assets Almost 10 years experience.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649da05503460f94a8b719/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
RISK TOLERANCE
The degree of uncertainty you can handle in regard to a negative change in the value of your investment
What would you do if you woke up one day and your stock lost
half its value?
Don’t take unnecessar
y risk
Take the Risk Tolerance quiz
![Page 21: Brooklyn Public Library Mina Ennin Black. About Me Former Merrill Lynch Financial Advisor- managed over half a billion in assets Almost 10 years experience.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649da05503460f94a8b719/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
LEVERAGE
Using borrowed capital to increase the potential return of an investment
Example
Margin: borrowing
money from your
brokerage firm to buy securities
Margin is EXTREMELY
risky
![Page 22: Brooklyn Public Library Mina Ennin Black. About Me Former Merrill Lynch Financial Advisor- managed over half a billion in assets Almost 10 years experience.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649da05503460f94a8b719/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
DIVIDEND
A distribution of a portion of a company’s earnings.
Quoted in terms of
dollar amount
each share receives
Dividends can be
cash, stock or
property.
![Page 23: Brooklyn Public Library Mina Ennin Black. About Me Former Merrill Lynch Financial Advisor- managed over half a billion in assets Almost 10 years experience.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649da05503460f94a8b719/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
RISK & RETURN
The potential return will go up with the more risk you take on
Must know your risk tolerance
Must take on some risk to
achieve returns
![Page 24: Brooklyn Public Library Mina Ennin Black. About Me Former Merrill Lynch Financial Advisor- managed over half a billion in assets Almost 10 years experience.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649da05503460f94a8b719/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
COMPOUND INTEREST
Interest that is paid on both the interest and the principal of an investment
ExampleIf you got 15% interest on your $1,000 investment the first year and end up with $150 interest
Example(cont..)
If I didn’t take the
money out, the second
year I would get 15%
interest on both the
$1,000 and the $150
This is why it’s so important to let your money grow in your account
![Page 25: Brooklyn Public Library Mina Ennin Black. About Me Former Merrill Lynch Financial Advisor- managed over half a billion in assets Almost 10 years experience.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649da05503460f94a8b719/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
EQUITY
For us: a stock or any other security that represents an ownership interest
Examples
Apple, Google,
There are almost 9,000
stocks in the U.S.
![Page 26: Brooklyn Public Library Mina Ennin Black. About Me Former Merrill Lynch Financial Advisor- managed over half a billion in assets Almost 10 years experience.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649da05503460f94a8b719/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
ASSET ALLOCATION
Balancing the risk vs. reward in your portfolio by adjusting percentages
ExampleA third of
your money in stocks, a third in
bonds and a third in
cash
Invest across
different categories
of investmen
ts
![Page 27: Brooklyn Public Library Mina Ennin Black. About Me Former Merrill Lynch Financial Advisor- managed over half a billion in assets Almost 10 years experience.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649da05503460f94a8b719/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING
Invest an equal amount of money at regular intervals
A good way to reduce
market risk
Instead of investing a
lump sum of $1,000 now,
you can invest $100 every month
for 10 months
![Page 28: Brooklyn Public Library Mina Ennin Black. About Me Former Merrill Lynch Financial Advisor- managed over half a billion in assets Almost 10 years experience.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649da05503460f94a8b719/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
RATE OF RETURN
The amount of revenue an investment generates over a given period of time as a percentage of the original investment amount
Example
Earlier example, the
$1,000 investment
& $150 investment
income
15% is the rate of return
Total Return: actual rate of return of an investment. Includes interest, capital gains, dividends Real Return: return on an investment adjusted for inflation
![Page 29: Brooklyn Public Library Mina Ennin Black. About Me Former Merrill Lynch Financial Advisor- managed over half a billion in assets Almost 10 years experience.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649da05503460f94a8b719/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
STOCKS
Stocks: Shares of ownership in a company

WHY DO PEOPLE BUY STOCK?
To raise money to start a business or grow a business
To help pay for ongoing business expenses
We get income from dividends (not always!)
WHY DO COMPANIES ISSUE STOCK?
They don’t have to repay the money
The stock price could go up
![Page 31: Brooklyn Public Library Mina Ennin Black. About Me Former Merrill Lynch Financial Advisor- managed over half a billion in assets Almost 10 years experience.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649da05503460f94a8b719/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Stock price isTied to how much investor’s perceive the entire company to be worth right now AND How much the company is going to EARN in the future
Market Capitalization (market cap) = how much the total company is valued at
Stock Price * Shares OutstandingPay attention to this and NOT stock price

WHAT CAUSES STOCK PRICES TO CHANGE?
The easy answer…
Supply and Demand
More wanting to buy, less wanting to sell
Less wanting to buy, more wanting to sell
![Page 40: Brooklyn Public Library Mina Ennin Black. About Me Former Merrill Lynch Financial Advisor- managed over half a billion in assets Almost 10 years experience.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649da05503460f94a8b719/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Investors make money in stocks in two ways:
Dividends
Companies may make payment to shareholders as part of the profits.
Capital Gains (CG)
Investors purchase shares in companies with the expectation that the price of the shares will increase. This increase in share value is a capital gain

• What products do you really like? • What is popular among your friends? • Who makes it? • Do you think it will continue to be
popular?
Make Sure To Do Your Homework: know what the company does and how it’s doing financially – look at news; their annual reports

STRATEGIES FOR STOCK SELECTION
Avoid Obvious Risks
• Beware of front-page stories
• When a stock or company gets the headline that means everyone else knows about it too
• You may want to stick with boring stocks
• Evaluate Current Industry Conditions: Industries include: transportation, automotive, food and beverage, retail/apparel, health care, entertainment, communication, utilities, financial and others
Do current events affect the businesses in the industry you’d like to invest in?
Will technology innovations affect your industry?
