- The SML shows the return needed given risk as measured by beta. And there are situations where a stock might be mispriced relative to CAPM. Given the relationship with the security mark line (SML), if a stock is properly priced relative to CAPM , where would it plot on the graph relative to the SML? A. on the Y-axis B. on the security market line C. below the security market line D. above the security market linearrow_forwardWhen seeking to diversify and eliminate unsystematic risk in your portfolio, do you want stocks whose movements have high correlation (i.e. move together) or low correlation (i.e. don't move togeter). a) High correlation b) Low correlationarrow_forwardAssume that the CAPM assumptions hold. Consider the following statements:i. A stock with a beta below zero will tend to move in the same direction as the market but will tend to move less aggressively in that direction than the market does.ii. Alpha measures the additional risk we take on top of the risk of the market portfolio.arrow_forward
