mtcfa | Shouldn't the answer be B? |
danlan | Market risk is always there, unique risk can be eliminated. |
Rotigga | Unique risk is the risk related to a specific asset. |
ljamieson | Unique risk <=> Asset specific risk I assume |
Crown01 | Unique risk = unsystematic risk also. |
Crown01 | or we can can call unique risk as diversifiable risk |
BigJimStud | think of it this way, how can you ever diversify away market risk when by the very nature of investing you are in the market to begin with? |
thekobe | market risk= systematic risk unique risk = unsystematic risk |
gulfa99 | unsystematic risk = unique risk systematic risk = non unique risk refer to notes |
davcer | market=systematic=non unique=nos diversifiable |
maryprz14 | You can't diversify away the system risk because by investing in the market, you are in the system. haha... sounds like a serious boring quote :D |

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.
