A listing of each possible outcome and the probability of each outcome occurring. PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION

You invest 100,000 in only one stock. What kind of risk will you primarily be exposed to?

- STANDALONE RISK

This is involving yourself with only one type of financial instruments. It can lead to massive losses if the value of the instrument goes down.

Generally, investors would prefer to invest in assets that have:

- A. A low level of risk and high expected returns.

Human beings are rationale beings that will always seek to maximise their utility. They do this under certain risk appetites but generally, people prefer that they get high returns for low risk. Essentially, people want money but they don't want to risk losing it to get it.
