You have a $102000 portfolio comprising 16 stocks. You trade each stock five times this year and each time you trade, you pay about $30 in commissions and spread. You have no special knowledge, so you earn only the average market return of 14 % on your investments. How much lower will your total return be because of your trades?

    My total return is lower 1.05% because of my trades

    Explanation:

    The total commission and spread I have to pay for trading five times in year is $150 ( = $30 x 5)

    The total return on the portfolio of $102,000 is $14,280 = (14%*$102,000)

    So the total commission and spread / the total return = $150/$14.280 = 1.05%
