VaR? More like 'Volatility, Anxiety, and Regret,' am I right? This exam question is giving me all the feels.

Wait, so VaR doesn't measure the maximum loss that could ever be incurred? That's like saying a parachute doesn't guarantee a safe landing. What's the point then?

VaR can only measure downside risk? That's a bit of a bummer. I was hoping it could tell me about the upside potential too. Oh well, can't have it all I guess.

I think option B is the correct answer. VaR is all about quantifying future volatility, which is crucial for making informed investment decisions.

I'm not sure if VaR is the best decision tool. It seems to only focus on past volatility, which may not be that useful for future decision-making.

But VaR is used to estimate potential losses, so I still think C) is the best description.
