Word of the day
coolly: in an unfriendly way:
opt: to make a choice, especially of one thing or possibility instead of others:
hard-headed: not influenced by emotions:
tail risk: a form of portfolio risk that arises when the possibility that an investment will move more than three standard deviations from the mean is greater than what is shown by a normal distribution.
Tail risks include events that have a small probability of occurring and occur at both ends of a normal distribution curve.
Quote of the day
“The thought that I might kill myself formed in my mind coolly as a tree or a flower.”
