I. Basic Terminology
savings = income – taxes – spending on goods and services
investment = something acquired for future income or benefit- investments can generate income (e.g. interest, dividends)
- investments can appreciate in value(e.g. house, gold)
![Page 4: Saving & Investing Dr. Katie Sauer Metropolitan State University of Denver (ksauer5@msudenver.edu) Presented at Junior Achievement’s Elementary School](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e415503460f94b331c4/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
By itself, savings is just what is left over from your income after taxes and your spending.
When you take your savings and put it in an account that earns interest or buy a stock or a house, you are investing.

II. SavingWhy do people save?
According to the Federal Reserve’s triennial Survey of Consumer Finances:

![Page 6: Saving & Investing Dr. Katie Sauer Metropolitan State University of Denver (ksauer5@msudenver.edu) Presented at Junior Achievement’s Elementary School](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e415503460f94b331c4/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
How much do people save?
The savings rate is the percent of after-tax income that is saved.
The Bureau of Economic Analysis (www.bea.gov) has been tracking US household saving rates since 1959.
Year Average Savings Rate1960s 8.21%1970s 9.6%1980s 8.61%1990s 5.5%2000- Oct 2008 2.82%Since Oct 2008 5.77%

The saving rate has been trending down since the early 1980s.In recessions, people tend to save more.
![Page 8: Saving & Investing Dr. Katie Sauer Metropolitan State University of Denver (ksauer5@msudenver.edu) Presented at Junior Achievement’s Elementary School](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e415503460f94b331c4/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
How much do people want to have saved for emergencies and unexpected situations?
http://www.federalreserve.gov/pubs/bulletin/2009/pdf/scf09.pdf
As income rises, so does the amount that households want to have saved.
As income rises, the percent of income that households need to save to meet their goal tends to fall.
![Page 9: Saving & Investing Dr. Katie Sauer Metropolitan State University of Denver (ksauer5@msudenver.edu) Presented at Junior Achievement’s Elementary School](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e415503460f94b331c4/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
A household with income of $15,000, wanting to save $2,000 will have to save what percent of their income?
percent of income saved = $2,000 x 100 $15,000
percent of income saved = 13.3%
![Page 10: Saving & Investing Dr. Katie Sauer Metropolitan State University of Denver (ksauer5@msudenver.edu) Presented at Junior Achievement’s Elementary School](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e415503460f94b331c4/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
A household with income of $250,000 wanting to save $20,000 will have to save what percent of their income?
percent of income saved = $20,000 x 100 $250,000
percent of income saved = 8%
![Page 11: Saving & Investing Dr. Katie Sauer Metropolitan State University of Denver (ksauer5@msudenver.edu) Presented at Junior Achievement’s Elementary School](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e415503460f94b331c4/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Not all households have a saving account.

![Page 12: Saving & Investing Dr. Katie Sauer Metropolitan State University of Denver (ksauer5@msudenver.edu) Presented at Junior Achievement’s Elementary School](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e415503460f94b331c4/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Common Types of Savings Accounts

Certificate of deposit (CD)Specific term
- all earn interest- all are FDIC insured to $250,000
![Page 13: Saving & Investing Dr. Katie Sauer Metropolitan State University of Denver (ksauer5@msudenver.edu) Presented at Junior Achievement’s Elementary School](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e415503460f94b331c4/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
III. Turning Savings into Investment
The Financial System is the group of institutions in an economy that help to match savers with borrowers
The US economy has two basic types of financial institutions:- financial markets- financial intermediaries
![Page 14: Saving & Investing Dr. Katie Sauer Metropolitan State University of Denver (ksauer5@msudenver.edu) Presented at Junior Achievement’s Elementary School](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e415503460f94b331c4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
A. Financial Intermediaries are institutions where funds are transferred indirectly from savers to investors.
Examples:
1. Banks accept savings deposits and make loans. - pay interest to depositors, charge interest to borrowers
2. Mutual Funds are institutions that sell shares to the public and use the proceeds to buy a portfolio of stocks and bonds.- allows individuals with a small amount of money to diversify
![Page 15: Saving & Investing Dr. Katie Sauer Metropolitan State University of Denver (ksauer5@msudenver.edu) Presented at Junior Achievement’s Elementary School](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e415503460f94b331c4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
B. Financial Markets are institutions where funds are transferred directly from savers to investors.
Examples:1. Bond Market
A bond is a certificate of indebtedness. “IOU”
When a firm or government issues a bond, they are borrowing money from anyone who buys the bond.
They are promising to pay you back a certain value in the future.
A bond has a date of maturity and a rate of interest associated with it.
![Page 16: Saving & Investing Dr. Katie Sauer Metropolitan State University of Denver (ksauer5@msudenver.edu) Presented at Junior Achievement’s Elementary School](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e415503460f94b331c4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Suppose you buy a $1,000 bond that matures in 5 years and pays 6% interest.
- Today, you give up $1,000 and receive the bond.
- You will receive periodic interest payments of 6% for the next 5 years.
1,000 x 0.06 = $60
- At the end of the 5 years, you receive $1,000.
![Page 17: Saving & Investing Dr. Katie Sauer Metropolitan State University of Denver (ksauer5@msudenver.edu) Presented at Junior Achievement’s Elementary School](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e415503460f94b331c4/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Bonds can be sold at par value (face value) or at a discount or at a premium.
Characteristics that determine a bond’s value:
term: length of time until the bond matures- longer maturity time … riskier
credit risk: the probability that the borrower will fail to pay the interest or the principal
tax treatment: some bonds have interest that is tax free
![Page 18: Saving & Investing Dr. Katie Sauer Metropolitan State University of Denver (ksauer5@msudenver.edu) Presented at Junior Achievement’s Elementary School](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e415503460f94b331c4/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

2. Stock Market
A stock is a claim of partial ownership of a firm.- shareholder
If you buy a stock, you are not guaranteed to get your money back.
The price of a stock generally reflects the perception of a firm’s future profitability.
![Page 20: Saving & Investing Dr. Katie Sauer Metropolitan State University of Denver (ksauer5@msudenver.edu) Presented at Junior Achievement’s Elementary School](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e415503460f94b331c4/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
What determines the price of a stock?
a. Fundamental analysis is the study of a company’s accounting statements and future prospects.
It includes doing an economic analysis, industry analysis, and company analysis.
- P/E ratio (stock price / net income per share)- competitors- the market for its product- management- credit risk
![Page 21: Saving & Investing Dr. Katie Sauer Metropolitan State University of Denver (ksauer5@msudenver.edu) Presented at Junior Achievement’s Elementary School](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e415503460f94b331c4/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
b. The Efficient Markets Hypothesis is the theory that asset prices reflect all publicly available information about the value of the asset.
- each company listed on a stock exchange is followed closely by many many people
- equilibrium of supply and demand sets the price
According to this theory, at the market price, the number of people wanting to sell exactly equals the number wanting to buy.
Remember, any stock that you think is “hot” and about to increase in value, someone else thought it was not hot and was willing to sell it.
![Page 22: Saving & Investing Dr. Katie Sauer Metropolitan State University of Denver (ksauer5@msudenver.edu) Presented at Junior Achievement’s Elementary School](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e415503460f94b331c4/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
c. Market IrrationalityStock prices sometimes seem to be driven by psychological reasons.
Herd Mentality is the tendency for individuals to copy the actions of a larger group, even though without the group the person may not choose to take the action on their own.
- when the stock market is booming and “everyone” is investing, a person might decide it is a great time to buy some stocks, too
![Page 23: Saving & Investing Dr. Katie Sauer Metropolitan State University of Denver (ksauer5@msudenver.edu) Presented at Junior Achievement’s Elementary School](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e415503460f94b331c4/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Where do people get their information on investing?

IV. The Time Value of Money
Intuitively we understand that an amount of money today is more valuable than the same amount of money in the future.
- inflation- earn interest
![Page 34: Saving & Investing Dr. Katie Sauer Metropolitan State University of Denver (ksauer5@msudenver.edu) Presented at Junior Achievement’s Elementary School](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e415503460f94b331c4/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
![Page 35: Saving & Investing Dr. Katie Sauer Metropolitan State University of Denver (ksauer5@msudenver.edu) Presented at Junior Achievement’s Elementary School](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e415503460f94b331c4/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Future Value is the amount of money that can result from an amount of money we have today.
Future Value = Present Value x (1 + r )
Ex: $18,000 wedding, 4% interest, 40 years
Future Value = 18,000 x (1.04) Future Value = $86,418
Ex: $18,000 wedding, 6% interest, 40 years
Future Value = 18,000 x (1.06) Future Value = $185,142

Suppose you spend $1000 to go to a relaxing all-inclusive resort in Mexico for spring break.
If you had invested the $1,000 at 5% interest, how much money would you have had in 10 years?
Future Value = 1000 x (1.05)
Future Value = $1628.89
If you invested it for 20 years, how much would you have?
Future Value = 1000 x (1.05)
Future Value = $2653.30

The higher the interest rate, the higher the future value of your money saved today.
The longer the time frame, the higher the future value of your money saved today.
![Page 38: Saving & Investing Dr. Katie Sauer Metropolitan State University of Denver (ksauer5@msudenver.edu) Presented at Junior Achievement’s Elementary School](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e415503460f94b331c4/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Present Value is the amount of money one would need today to produce a given amount of money in the future.
Present Value = Future Value / (1 + r )
Ex. you want to have $1,000,000 in 25 years and the interest rate is 5%
Present Value = 1,000,000 / (1.05)
Present Value = $295,303
If you put $295,303 in an account earning 5% interest, you’d have $1million in 25 years.

Suppose instead you want the $1,000,000 in 40 years.
Present Value = 1,000,000 / (1.05)

Suppose when your child begins his/her college education, you promise to give you son/daughter $1000 cash if they graduate in 4 years. If your savings account earns 8% interest, how much money would you need to put in today to have $1000 in 4 years?
Present Value = 1000 / (1.08)
Present Value = $735.03
Suppose instead your account earns 2% interest.
Present Value = 1000 / (1.02)
Present Value = $923.85

The higher the interest rate, the smaller the amount of money needed in the present to obtain a particular future amount.
The longer the time frame, the smaller the amount of money needed in the present to obtain a particular future amount.

V. Managing Risk
Risk Aversion is a dislike of uncertainty.
Practical advice for risk-averse people:don’t put all your eggs in one basket
Diversify!
![Page 43: Saving & Investing Dr. Katie Sauer Metropolitan State University of Denver (ksauer5@msudenver.edu) Presented at Junior Achievement’s Elementary School](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e415503460f94b331c4/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Firm-specific risk only affects a single company.ex: a software firm that goes bankrupt because they solda low quality product that no one bought
Market risk is the risk associated with the entire economy. ex: in a recession, even good firms face hard times andmay have financial troubles
You can avoid firm-specific risk by diversifying but you can’t avoid market risk.
![Page 44: Saving & Investing Dr. Katie Sauer Metropolitan State University of Denver (ksauer5@msudenver.edu) Presented at Junior Achievement’s Elementary School](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e415503460f94b331c4/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
To some degree, you can avoid some of the market risk associated with a particular nation’s economy.
ex: buy assets in nations outside the US
However, as nations become more and more engaged in the global economy, there is a global market risk that is unavoidable.
![Page 45: Saving & Investing Dr. Katie Sauer Metropolitan State University of Denver (ksauer5@msudenver.edu) Presented at Junior Achievement’s Elementary School](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e415503460f94b331c4/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Keep in mind, there is always a tradeoff between risk and reward.- savings account is safe, but pays lower interest- stocks are riskier, but pay a higher return
- US bonds are safer, 4% interest- in spring 2010 Greek bonds were much riskier, 11% interest
If you ever hear of an investment that pays a high rate of return, you should assume that it is risky and not a sure thing.
![Page 46: Saving & Investing Dr. Katie Sauer Metropolitan State University of Denver (ksauer5@msudenver.edu) Presented at Junior Achievement’s Elementary School](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e415503460f94b331c4/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Risk tolerance changes with age.
When a person is early in their working years, investing in relatively riskier assets is okay.
- can ride out the ups and downs of the stock market…can have big payoffs and can recover from any losses
When a person is getting closer to retirement, investing in safer assets is wise.
