I just want to see how many of you understand this concept. It shouldn't be too hard for you guys. All you big, burly math and science majors.

EDIT: lol, thought those were the answers. Actually we covered portfolio risk earlier in the semester, and in the FNCE 3000 course.

No, it's using creative thinking to solve a problem. Not just memorizing formulas and then plugging in numbers, which is a complete waste of time and why I'm not in a business discipline.

You either did it wrong, or else you rounded.

Hard to understand a concept when you have no background in it.

Try this on for size:
How large must the minimum cross sectional area of a beam be to support a 75,000lb load if its yield strength is 106ksi and we wish to avoid plastic deformation?

Its a really simple calculation, but if you have no idea what a yield strength or a ksi is, you'll have no idea how to do the problem. Likewise, if you have no idea how a hedge fund works, theres no way us "big burly math and science majors" can answer the question.

I am in shock too. This is a Kame topic, and the image says "NZ$" instead of "kiwi".
Sure, they mean the bird, but it is still the principle of the matter.

Whoever is using an NZ$ rate of 0.40 is off their rocker. I think the lowest the currency have ever been was something like 0.44, and at the moment it's around 0.74 and has been that way for about a year now.
