Suggested Answer: A

Among other things, the trade confirmation that Anna receives must stipulate the items described in Selections I and III only. The trade confirmation that Anna receives from GetErDone must stipulate the time and date of the transaction, the number of shares sold, and the price at which they were sold. The exchange or ECN on which the transaction was executed is not provided on the confirmation statement. Whether GetErDone acted as a principal or a broker in the transaction does need to be stipulated, but in this instance GetErDone acted as a broker, not a principal. GetErDone did not itself buy the shares from Anna.

I definitely recall that diversification can't eliminate all market risk, so D seems wrong to me.

I think we went over a similar question in class, and the answer was that it lowers risk without changing expected return.

Wait, I'm confused. Doesn't diversification actually increase expected return in some cases? I'm going to have to re-read that section of the textbook before answering this.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. I know diversification is supposed to reduce risk, but I can't quite remember how it affects expected return. Let me think this through carefully.

Diversification, the financial equivalent of not putting all your eggs in one basket. Except in this case, the eggs are your hard-earned money. Better choose wisely, folks!

Ah, the age-old question of risk and return. If only we could eliminate all market risk and still get great returns. Guess I'll have to settle for the good old diversification strategy.
