An investor has an opportunity to buy stock in two publicly traded companies: Avvoltoio Airlines and Unctuous Energy.

Avvoltoio tends to do well when oil prices are low; Unctuous tends to do well when oil prices are high. The returns are therefore negatively correlated. Returns have the following probability distribution....

The findings suggest trendy weight loss regimes which encourage avoiding bread, potatoes and pasta may do more harm than good. However, it's not an excuse to pile your plate with them as the study also found that eating too many carbs damages health. Instead, it suggests a moderate amount of carbohydrate, around 50 to 55%...

8.7. A stockbroker, Richard Smith, has just received a call from his most important client, Ann Hardy. Ann has $50,000 to invest and wants to use it to purchase two stocks. Stock 1 is a solid blue-chip security with a respectable growth potential and little risk involved. Stock 2 is much more speculative. It is being touted in two investment newsletters as having outstanding growth potential, but also is considered very risky. Ann would like a large return on her...

CDs are a very safe investment because they are usually insured by the U.S. government. (There are some CDs that are not insured so it is important to always check!) Because they are so safe, CDs earn low rates of interest. The amount earned on an investment is often called the return. In general, investments with higher risk also have the potential for higher rates of return. For example, if you invest in a stock, which is like buying a...
