January 2nd: Bought 1,000 shares of speculative stock for $2.16 per share.
July 1st: Sold the shares for $9.59 per share.
Online broker charges $10 per trade.
1) What is the HPR?
2) What is the annualized HPR on this investment?
1)
Holding period return = (Selling price+Income-Commission-Purchase price)/Purchase price
Holding period return = (1000*9.59-10-1000*2.16)/(1000*2.16) = 3.43519
Holding period return = 343.519%
2)
Days between January 2nd and July 1st = 182 days
Number of years = 182/365 = 0.4986
Annualized holding period return = (((Selling price+Income-Commission)/Purchase price)^(1/182)) -1
Annualized holding period return = (4.43519^(1/0.4986))-1
Annualized holding period return = 18.8361 = 1883.61%
