Abstract

Let p, p(I), ϱ, and p(M) denote, respectively the current stock price, the future stock price that is conditioned on information, the minimum stock market tick size, and the realized future stock price. Formal theoretical proofs in this study show modeling of stock returns in continuous time induces stock returns that have parameterization as gambles over lotteries. Stock returns have parameterization as gambles, because in presence of fairness of formation of, p<[p+ϱ]
