  40. Visual 1: Thinking Economically About Researching Stocks • Recognize that you cannot know it all. • Select a few companies to research. Then follow their progress closely. • Find a few good place to get stock information. • Stop looking for new information when you think the benefits received from more information are less than the costs of additional research.

  41. Visual 2: Surprises are Rarein the Securities Markets • Many individuals spend a great deal of time and effort trying to find companies whose stock prices might increase faster than average for the market. • Many financial institutions – brokerage companies, banks, life insurance companies – spend even more time and effort trying to identify companies whose stock prices might increase faster than average for the market. • It is difficult to earn unusual gains in the stock market because most of the information about most companies is already known. • People who earn above-average returns from their stock are usually surprised. But it is hard even for experienced investors to find surprises in the market.

  42. Visual 3 An Example: LeBron James • LeBron James joined the NBA out of high school. He is known for his ability to jump, pass, involve teammates and score. • Some regard LeBron James as the Michael Jordan of the future. • Could you make big money today by purchasing Nike stock, thinking that its value might be enhanced by the LeBron James connection?
