Can anyone explain skewness in relation to "gains and losses". For example, looking at a positively skewed distribution, i don't get the frequent small losses and few extreme gains thing. HELP!! |

This is because negaitve skew has the peak in the right and "excess" tail to the far left (extreme loss.) |
