Financial Decision Making
Summer 2011 Section# 082608

Instructor: George A. Haloulakos, MBA, CFA Contact Info: 425/241-5016, Haloulakos@gmail.com

Welcome to UCSD Extension’s Financial Decision Making course. My basic approach to the subject matter is that theory which cannot be practiced is not good theory, BUT practice that is not based on theory [i.e., a logical, independently verifiable analytic framework] is not good practice. Thus we will strive for a balance of both theory and practice to provide a rigorous, comprehensive course. Please review the following syllabus and let me know if you have any questions or comments. I will do everything I can to make sure that this course will be a profitable and enjoyable learning experience for each and every member of the class. Please also remember that I am here to support you in the pursuit of your educational goals.

This course carries three quarter units of credit.

    While there are many different types of investment strategies, each one of them aims to score the highest returns. One investing strategy, however, has always withstood the test of time. In 1934, Benjamin Graham and David Dodd published Security Analysis, which uses fundamental analysis and laid the intellectual foundation of value investing. Perhaps the most prolific businessman, Warren Buffet, has also used this strategy of value investing to make billions. This paper outlines the philosophies used in value investing and provides a portfolio that attempts to reflect these principles. The composition as well as the performance of the portfolio will be discussed in later sections of the paper. Keep in mind, however, that it is extremely difficult to test the validity of the value investing strategy over such a short time horizon. In fact, one should feel very comfortable holding “value stocks” in his or her portfolio across multiple business cycles.…
