ABSTRACT
Investment cannot be separated from the level of return and risk inherent in assets. Today, investment instruments are not only stocks, currencies, bonds, deposits, savings and others. The beginning of Bitcoin's emergence as a pioneer of Cryptocurrency was in 2009. Crypto assets are emerging rapidly and are accompanied by an increase in the number of transactions each period. The growth in the market capitalization value of crypto assets has also grown significantly. During COVID-19, many investments, such as stocks, experienced a decline due to market uncertainty. The results of this study prove that with the existence of COVID-19, the crypto market is not affected. Crypto is an attraction characterized by a high degree of fluctuation, and there is no limit to transactions in the open market 24 hours to trade. The Cryptocurrency market is currently a market that can provide short-term benefits to risk-taking investors, while the market in other investment instruments is declining. 78% of the value capitalization of the top 200 cryptocurrencies is represented by the top 9 cryptos used as samples in this study. So that if there is a decrease in these 9 cryptos, it will also have an impact on the overall capitalization value of crypto in the market. The future development of Cryptocurrencies will no longer be digital assets traded with many speculators who can control prices, it can even be digital money that can be used worldwide without any transaction fees and is controlled on a blockchain system. © Ikaputera Waspada, Dwi Fitrizal Salim, Astrie Krisnawati, 2022.
ABSTRACT
Covid-19 has had an impact on stock investment, especially in Indonesia, marked by the decline in the Jakarta Composite Index (JCI) at the beginning of the Covid 19 pandemic. During the Covid-19 era, there was a lot of negative information about the uncertainty of the market, which made investors irrational about the choice of stocks in the portfolio. So this research will have a hypothesis that the High Volatility stock group will be the best portfolio in Covid-19 conditions. The sample used is the Group of stocks that have the largest market capitalization value in JCI. Stocks with large market caps are chosen because of one of the indicators of blue chip stock. The sample will be divided into three portfolio groups, High Volatility, Moderate Volatility, and Low Volatility. The results obtained that High Volatility became the best portfolio during the Covid-19 period. The results of this study prove that the group of stocks with High Volatility will get positive returns and sharpe performance results are the highest and positive, compared to moderate volatility and low volatility portfolios. This result arises because stocks with High Volatility are subject to large price fluctuations and in this situation, investors can invest in these stocks in a short time frame. The short-term process is carried out regularly so that it can be in accordance with investors' expectations for investments in the portfolio. © Dwi Fitrizal Salim, Aldilla Iradianty, Farida Titik Kristanti, Widyadhana Candraningtias, 2022.
ABSTRACT
Stock price movements are interesting to discuss, because from these price movements investors will get capital gains. Problems arose, however, when Covid-19 hit the world, especially in Indonesia. The purpose of this study, then, is to determine whether there is a relationship and difference in return and risk between Economic Value Added (EVA) and Market Value added (MVA) portfolios in the Indonesian stock market. The sample used is 24 stocks with daily stock return data for the 2015-2020 period. The results of the study found something new, namely that there was a relationship and difference between returns and risks in the EVA and MVA portfolios in Indonesia. In addition, the research succeeded in forming EVA and MVA portfolios that exceeded market returns in Indonesia. The best strategy that investors can apply in investing is to use an active strategy, especially during conditions, such as the Covid-19 pandemic, which have an impact on high market fluctuation.
