HT has the highest expected return, and
appears to be the best investment alternative,
but is it really? Have we failed to account for
risk?

Failure to diversify
NO!
Stand-alone risk is not important to a welldiversified investor.
Rational, risk-averse investors are concerned
with p, which is based upon market risk.
There can be only one price (the market return)
for a given security.
No compensation should be earned for holding
unnecessary, diversifiable risk.
