A Portfolio Analysis of the Teaching of Investments

David K. Eiteman and Keith V. Smith

Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis, 1974, vol. 9, issue 5, 771-780

Abstract: Several titles reflecting different approaches to our subject matter were considered for the paper. An historical but somewhat pedantic approach to the teaching of investments might have been titled “Pedagogical Developments in Investments: Past, Present, and Future.” Another possibility was “Sex and the Single Investor,” a title which probably would have attracted a larger audience. “Beat the Dealer Versus Beat the Market” might well have been an appropriate title in view of our presence here in Las Vegas and also because of recent experience in the securities markets. We finally decided on simply “A Portfolio Analysis of the Teaching of Investments,” because this seems to better capture the essence of our viewpoint.
