| johntan1979 | I'm not sure if I totally understand this... Does this mean that a risk-seeking investor will demand lower returns for every increase in risk? Or should I say they are fine with lower returns with increasing risks? |
| gill15 | Second part of what you said --- there fine with substituting risk for return |
| Debashree | why would someone do that..weird |
| Teeto | Debashree, because risk is not just downside. It is increased volatility, which assumes bigger potential upside as well. So for some people 1/100 chance of winning a hundred is better than 2 dollars certain cash. That's where casinos make money. |
I just wanted to share the good news that I passed CFA Level I!!! Thank you for your help - I think the online question bank helped cut the clutter and made a positive difference.
