A portfolio is an individual investor’s choices of stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and other types of investment. Pretend that you face these six choices for investments:

• a stock that has appreciated in value by 25% in each of the past 5 years and pays no dividends;
• a stock that has appreciated by 5% in each of the past 5 years and pays an 8% dividend each year;
• a bond that returns 5% each year;
• a mutual fund of international stocks that has appreciated by as much as 45% but depreciated by as much as 30% during the past 10 years;
• a mutual fund of US consumer products company stocks that has consistently appreciated by 12% for the past 5 years;
• a mutual fund of bonds that has consistently appreciated by 7% for the past 10 years.
