Kenneth French on How to Think About Investment Risk

Professor Kenneth French talks about why risk is a confusing concept for many investors.

DISCLOSURES: 

Investment involves risks. The investment return and principal value of an investment may fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original value. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. There is no guarantee strategies will be successful. Diversification neither assures a profit nor guarantees against loss in a declining market.
