Investor behavior can explain to some extent the stock market anomalies from a psychological viewpoint. Recent literature suggests a lot of models without testing predictability implied by the models and without a discussion of implications and limitations that are implied by the design. Mostly, these models are descriptive. In these designs, the question about relevant normative models is left aside. In this paper we propose a normative model that allows empirical testing of whether the way investors should behave given

Portfolio management is an ongoing process of constructing portfolios that balances an investor's objectives with the portfolio manager's expectations about the future. This dynamic process provides the payoff for investors. Portfolio management evaluates individual assets or investments by their contribution to the risk and return of an investor's portfolio rather than in isolation. This is called the portfolio perspective. Thus, by constructing a diversified portfolio, a portfolio manager can reduce risk for a given level of expected return, compared to

Successful trading, speculating or simply making informed decisions about financial markets means it is essential to have a firm grasp of economics. Financial market behaviour revolves around economic concepts, however the majority of economic textbooks do not tell the full story. To fully understand the behaviour of financial markets it is essential to have a model that enables new information to be absorbed and analysed with some predictive implications. That model is provided by the business cycle. 'Economics for Financial
