Stock price volatility is considered the main matter of concern within the investment grounds. However, the diffusivity of these prices should as well be considered. As such, proper modelling should be done for investors to stay healthy-informed. This paper suggest to model stock price diffusions using the heat equation from physics. We hypothetically state that, our model captures and model the diffusion bubbles of stock prices with a better precision of reality. We compared our model with the standard geometric Brownian motion model which is the wide commonly used stochastic differential equation in asset valuation. Interestingly, the models proved to agree as evidenced by a bijective relation between the volatility coefficients of the Brownian motion model and the diffusion coefficients of our heat diffusion model as well as the corresponding drift components. Consequently, a short proof for the martingale of our model is done which happen to hold.

We propose a geometric mixed fractional Brownian motion model for the stock price process with possible jumps superimposed by an independent Poisson process. Option price of the European call option is computed for such a model. Some special cases are studied in detail.

The paper presents a mathematical model of stock prices using a fractional Brownian motion model with adaptive parameters (FBMAP). The accuracy index of the proposed model is compared with the Brownian motion model with adaptive parameters (BMAP). The parameters in both models are adapted at any time. The ADVANC Info Service Public Company Limited (ADVANC) and Land and Houses Public Company Limited (LH) closed prices are concerned in the paper. The Brownian motion model with adaptive parameters (BMAP) and fractional Brownian motion model with adaptive parameters (FBMAP) are applied to identify ADVANC and LH closed prices. The simulation results show that the FBMAP is more suitable for forecasting the ADVANC and LH closed price than the BMAP.

The aim of the study was to investigate the investors’ opinions concerning the usefulness of behavioral factors for investment decisions. The research was carried out in the group of 100 investors, using the services of five brokerages with a long history of operation. The results of the research show that people’s psychological conditions and sentiment in the stock market play an important role in the decision-making process of investors in the capital market. The importance of this factor increased with the length of the investment period. The emotional states of people and their psychological conditions affect the stock price volatility. However, the complexity of the determinants of stock prices makes the market value of stocks can be affected by many factors at the same time and investors seem aware of this.

Kramers' Brownian motion model for escape from a metastable potential well is reconsidered in terms of the particle's energy and the action variable near the peak of the barrier. The pertinent phase space density ρ(ε, s) is uniquely determined (i) by means of a spectral analysis and (ii) upon specifying the energy distribution of (re-)entering particles. The ensuing decay rate Γ goes to zero in the low as well as in the high friction limit according to Kramers' original formulae. The nature of the intermediate turnover regime is critically discussed — and a comparison with related recent work by Büttiker, Harris and Landauer, Mel'nikov and Meshkov, and Grabert is made — while a problem with the underlying density is pointed out.
