The most basic fact you want to convey to them is risk and return—the greater the risk, the greater the expected return. From there, you want to explain how expected returns can be calculated given the level of risk and outlining which investments are more risky and which are less risky.  Create a file for uploading to the Discussion Board which contains all of the following information.

Risk    Expected Return
0.10    0.07
0.14    0.10

Second, given the following two investment options, explain what an investor would choose and why:
• Investment 1, an investment that is guaranteed a 6.5 percent return.
• Investment 2, an investment that has a probability 0.25 of earning 5%, a 0.50 probability of earning 10%, and a 0.25 probability of earning 0%.
Third, explain which of the investments below are riskier and why:

• Corporate bonds
• Treasury bonds

Fourth, for the class of investors below, explain which investment vehicle they are likely to choose based on its risk profile (stock, corporate bond, and Treasury bond):
