Abstract: Abstract It is the primary aim of this book to point out that Finance World has fundamentally and dramatically misunderstood the nature of investment risk. However before this can be done it is necessary to understand how Finance World calculates its own version of ‘risk’, and before that can be done it is necessary properly to understand return, because within the neat mathematical parameters of Finance World one (risk) is seen as a product of the other. Return is used to calculate risk. Remember that word ‘calculate’, by the way, for it is important.
