Discussion

Discssion:

1.

In Module Three, you identified your own risk profile and you had a discussion about appropriate investments for your risk profile. Take at least one of the investments you proposed and either find or calculate the beta for that investment. With this new information you can create a Risk/Return graph for your risk profile. Re-evaluate the discussion of Week Three. Again please stay in your own risk profile thread.

See the two attached files for detailed instructions on how to calculate the beta for an investment

Excerpt:
