Topic of the Week… Coping with Risk — 12 Varieties to Worry About
Every stock purchase requires a certain amount of risk, but many investors tend to just think in terms of the risk that the stock price will fall, not rise. But that begs the question… what could be responsible for a stock price falling? This week delve into12 types of risk, and why the standard suggestions for coping with those risks are inadequate for the 21st century investor.

Most seasonality effects tend to repeat on a regular basis… annually, monthly, every four years, during repeating holiday periods, etc. A conditional calendar effect essentially says… If X happens during a certain time period, then Y happens during a different time period.
