Which of the following is TRUE? You should choose a stock with the greater Jensen’s alpha Lower Treynor ratio indicates better risk adjusted performance Lower Sharpe ratio indicates greater level of risk for the same level of risk-adjusted return Higher Sharpe ratio indicates lower return for the same level of risk

Since these are so rare, the CAPM model does not account for negative beta stocks. D. An expected return less than the risk-free rate.

Why will the standard deviation not be a good measure of risk when returns are negatively skewed? What are the risk implications for an investor for a returns series that exhibits fat tails? A price weighted index places more weight on stocks with a higher price, whilst a value weighted index places more weight on stocks with a higher market capitalization. Discuss.
Consider the two (excess return) index model regression results for A and B. RA= 0.9% + 1.1RM , R-square = 0.590, and Residual Standard Deviation = 11% RB= -1.4% + 0.6RM, R-square = 0.456, and Residual Standard Deviation = 9.2% Which stock has more firm-specific risk, market risk, and greater fraction of return variability for market movement? Also, if rf were constant at 4.4% and the regression had been run using total rather than excess returns, what would have been the regression intercept for stock A (write as percentage, rounded to 2 decimal places)?

Which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. The slope of the Security Market Line is beta. b. Any stock with a negative beta must in theory have a negative required rate of return, provided rRF is positive. c. If a stock's beta doubles, its required rate of return must also double. d. If a stock's returns are negatively correlated with returns on most other stocks, the stock's beta will be negative. e. If a stock has a beta of to 1.0, its required rate of return will be unaffected by changes in the market risk premium.
