Please help me @kropot72 I need it urgently

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help me here @phi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please @phi

OpenStudy (phi):

I don't know this stuff. Only common sense: owning 1 stock is not very diverse. I would *guess* somewhat diverse but it is a guess. I hope you have good notes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well with this one I am having trouble

@jagr2713 @kropot72

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know who could help me @phi

OpenStudy (phi):

I would re-do the problems I indicated in the other post.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I will but I need this one

OpenStudy (phi):

I would look in your notes about what makes a portfolio diverse or not. My thoughts would be: lots of different stocks in different industries, perhaps based in different countries, many different bonds, some dollars in a bank account. Your portfolio has only 1 stock, 1 junk bond

OpenStudy (phi):

Not diverse would be just one thing, treasury bonds for example. so minimally diverse would be my guess

OpenStudy (phi):

junk bonds and 1 stock in a "developing" company are very risky. So 51% of the portfolio is very risky and 49% is very safe. Is there a rule of thumb for amount of risk versus age and income?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so could it be desribed as agressive or moderate?

OpenStudy (phi):

yes, but now you have to dig through your notes to figure out which it is.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@phi An aggressive portfolio is more heavily weighted toward risky investments with potential for higher short-term returns. A conservative portfolio is more heavily weighted toward safe investments, which may provide modest long-term returns.

OpenStudy (phi):

it's almost 50-50 between risky and safe. So you could argue moderate

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you help me with part 3 @phi

OpenStudy (phi):

not a grandmother investing her retirement. how about young, married with a young kids. Has a good job and can afford to take a loss, but wants to take some risks to build a college fund for the kids?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

True

OpenStudy (phi):

so for part 3, make up some person, give them investment goals, and reasons for having some risky investments and reasons for safe investments.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

probably the wife is a doctor and the husband is an engineer

OpenStudy (phi):

sure that would work.
