Suppose that Mike has been holding asset B. (That is, Mike is holding a portfolio that entirely consists of asset B). Today, a stock broker came to Mike and recommended that he add a little bit of asset A into his portfolio (for example, 80% of asset B and 20% of asset A). Mike rejected this suggestion because he thinks that it is not a good idea to add a riskier asset into his portfolio -- based on the answers for Q3 and Q4, he knows that asset A is riskier (than asset B) in the sense that it has a higher standard deviation. Do you think that rejecting the stock broker’s suggestion was a correct decision?

Explanation:

The returns that the portfolio can generate needs to be analyzed by Mike, and this can be achieved by adding the riskier asset.

If adding a little bit of the riskier project would lead to an increase in the returns by a greater proportion, then it may be beneficial to do the same. Therefore. Mike should consider the option before rejecting it completely.

no, a company likes to look at potential employees that are professional, well mannered, clean, honest, etc. don't show up looking/acting like a clown. (unless that's your job xd) hope this ! =^-^=

the answer is i don't know
