Spring Training Optimism, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

The atmosphere at Spring Training is one of the special qualities of baseball in America. The optimism generated by fans and players alike tends to reach beyond reality.

This study investigates the multi-dimensional aspect of information quality and advances the proposition that it acts as a strategic success factor to customer relationship performance. Specifically, this study explores information as a resource for the firm and suggests that …

All Chapters

Target Date Funds simplify the investment process for investors, as such funds oversee changing asset allocations through time. A secondary benefit is that with these "set it and forget it" funds, investors are less likely to try to time the market. This is good since such activity generally hurts (rather than helps) most investors. In fact, staying the course allows investors to benefit from downside market volatility, as continued investment enables investors to buy more shares at lower prices, so-called dollar cost averaging.
