Which of the following statements is correct? a. A security's beta measures its diversifiable (firm-specific) risk relative to t

hat of other securities. b. A stock's beta is less relevant as a measure of risk to an investor with a well-diversified portfolio than to an investor who holds only one stock. c. A stock's beta can be calculated by comparing its returns to the market's returns over some time period because the beta coefficient measures a stock's volatility relative to market. d. If the returns of two firms are negatively correlated, one of them must have a negative beta. e. Combining stocks that are perfectly negatively correlated and that have the same beta coefficient into a portfolio is riskier than holding an individual stock, because the portfolio will not benefit from diversification.

Answer:

C. A stock's beta can be calculated by comparing its returns to the market's returns over some time period because the beta coefficient measures a stock's volatility relative to market.

Explanation:

A stock`s beta is a risk assessment metric that is used to measure the volatility of a security in relation to the market. The metric compares the risk of an investment with the average market risk of that investment.

Since stock`s beta measures market risk in relation to the security,  it can be calculated by comparing its returns to the market`s returns over some time period which gives beta coefficient as a result.

If beta coefficient is above 1, it means the volatility of the security is high. If it`s 1, it means the security risk equals the market risk. If it is below 1, it means the security risk is less than the market risk.

Other options are wrong.

Option A is wrong because security`beta measures security risk in relation to the market, not other securities. Option B is wrong because stock`s beta is more relevant to an investor with well-diversified portfolio to measure risks across market.

Option D is wrong because returns can be negatively correlated without any of  the firm having negative beta

Option E is wrong because holding an individual stock is always riskier than combining stocks in a portfolio.

So only option C is right as described above.

Answer:

bots

Explanation:

A bot is an application which simulates an individual's interaction with other users or systems. They are usually able to perform simple and repetitive tasks in large quantitative which would be very improbable for a human to perform, e.g. they can spend several days in social media applications.

In this case, brokers probably used bots to purchase tickets by making several small purchases.
