See the fоllоwing figure frоm the 4th Excel аssignment. We consider the investment implicаtion of shifting portfolio weights grаdually from the index fund to AMD. The right chart below plots portfolio’s standard deviation (i.e., risk) against the weight on AMD.

So, after reading the messages, I went back and deleted 2 of the questions on the study guide so that it matches up with the slides. I also went ahead and added 2 key terms that were originally accidentally left off on the 2nd page so that you can use those to make flashcards. Those two words that were added are non-verbal communication and concise – again you really do need to know what these words mean so that you can get the correct answers on the upcoming exam.
