    The slope of any function is its derivative, be it max or min. For the minimum, the slope would be zero. Hence, going backwards from a zero slope for the derivative, we find the minimum (or sometimes max)

    Some do argue DCA produces greater returns; I do not. I argue DCA has no real alternative in a functional sense. And I never would argue for timing. I do argue DCA seems to violate (yet then prove) the differences between arithmetic and geometric compounding.

    But no one ever said that dollar cost averaging produced "excess returns", only that it is for most people, the best way to be in the market. Dr. C calls this a "folly" but offers no alternative. Does he suggest trying to "time the market" which is sheer lunacy since most of the big gains over a year usually occur on only a few days.

    Good catch, after all this time, you are absolutely right. When the stock rises the writer/seller of call loses.

    Never argued for buying options save as insurance, and only selling options in lieu of limit orders to sell (selling calls) or to buy (selling puts). Graphs alone show the risks and they are indeed risky.

  • @falfred1

    Dr C you are one crazy dude. You are giving the viewers of this video poor information about options. When you explain selling calls and puts you dont mention the risk involved. Buying naked calls and puts is very risky because you take in a small premium (the credit) for unlimited risk to the up side (naked calls) and limited risk to the downside (naked put) until the stock hit zero.

    Back testing (called data snooping by statisticians) should also require that the rate of return be the same for the passive cash account and steady investments vs. DCA which it likely does not. Yet again, like returns will produce like results. Yet again, DCA does not differ from a standard retirement investing anyhow so the issue is also moot.

  • @drcinvests
    @drcinvests14 жыл бұрын

    A simulation with a normal distribution where Pt=Pt-1(1+r) where r is mean R and say a 5 percent monthly (.05) standard deviation; the cash account is a certain return of R. Purchase shares = $/Pt and compare that average to a constant share purchase average with the excess/loss to/from a cash account. If they are not equal your sample is too small or your programming is faulty. If the same returns are available, it is illogical to get anything but an equivalent result.

  • @drcinvests
    @drcinvests14 жыл бұрын

    Hmm.... A good college math proof is that (1+r)^n = (1+r)*(1+r)...n times and does NOT equal the arithmetic return but the geometric return (see my separate video on the difference between the two). Again, regardless you have NO OTHER RELEVANT choice anyhow. You are confusing that a 50 percent drop is NOT offset by a 50 gain, but instead by a 100 percent gain, or that percents are NOT additive, but multiplicative which is a common mistake made by proponents of DCA...

    Why doesn't the government just let the banks go bust and start new banks with no toxic asstes on their balance sheets... 700 billion dollars could open at least 10 banks... and whats more - the shareholders of these new banks could be the american public by issuing the shares of these banks to the public since its their money going in...

    ...and to your other question: the minimum variance portfolio is just that, the optimal portfolios lie above it and to the right on the Efficient Frontier with higher returns and higher risks (these are varyingly optimal to different people who may like more risk and return until the risk free return is introduced which then creates a single tangency on the Frontier which is presumed to be the Market).

  • @ChuckJPC

    All dots (single securities) have some correlation with every dot. The extreme dots to the right are relevant but generally not desirable. The correlations and weighted portfolios to the left of the dots create the feasible set; the best of these are on the Efficient Frontier (up and to the left).
