| julescruis | A is irrelevant here. |
| chamad | and so is C. Risk averse do not prefer high risk |
| hannovanwyk | could A not be true? If the investor has better info, he would understand his risk better and therefore he might decide to undertake such a risk |
| Nightsurfer | This model assumes complete market efficiency (perfect information). Therefore, no investor can know more than any other. By consequence, they all have the same expectation of return. |
| michlam14 | for c, i don't think anyone will want high risk low return? risk seeking will also want high return for high risk, but just doesnt seek as much premium as a risk averse person for taking risk? |
| johntan1979 | Nightsurfer is right. Go review the chapter on EMH. |
I passed! I did not get a chance to tell you before the exam - but your site was excellent. I will definitely take it next year for Level II.
