Dr. Maria-Antonia Tarrazon & Dr. Joan Montllor 1 A RANDOM WALK DOWN WALL STREET, by Burton G. MALKIEL QUESTIONS As stated at the beginning of the course, A Random Walk Down Wall Street by Professor Burton G. Malkiel is compulsory reading in Finance I (102329). Although the entire book is highly interesting and, therefore, reading its 430 pages (10th edition, 2011) is highly advisable for anyone interested in financial topics, as compulsory chapters in our subject we include: - Parts I (Stocks and Their Value) and II (How the Pros Play the Biggest Game in Town) for the second exam (25% of the final grade) in mid November; - Part III (The New Investment Technology), including the chapter on Behavioral Finance (chapter 10 in the 10th edition, 2011) and, from Part IV (A Practical Guide for Random Walkers and Other Investors), chapter 14 on A Life-cycle Guide to Investing (again the number of the chapter corresponds to the 10th edition). Quoting Professor Malkiel himself, “part four is a how-to-do guide for your random walk down Wall Street” where the author offers “general investment advice that should be useful to all investors, even if they don’t believe that securities markets are highly efficient”1. Reading the entire fourth part is highly recommendable. But apart from chapter 14 there won’t be any specific questions on the other chapters of this fourth part in the exam of our subject in January. The third exam (60% of the final grade) in January will include a question (20% of that exam) on A Random Walk Down Wall Street, which can be based on any part of the chapters read or ask about how to link different concepts that appear in these chapters. 1 A Random Walk Down Wall Street, 10th edition, 2011, p. 303.
