Before revision:  The individual investor develops addictive consumption habits gradually while he can only observe the market stock prices but not the instantaneous rates of return, which follow Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes . Applying the Kalman-Bucy filtering theorem and Dynamic Programming arguments, we solve the associated HJB equation fully explicitly for this path dependent stochastic control problem in the case of power utility preferences.
