“In the financial markets, however, the connection between a marketable security and the underlying business is not as clear-cut. For investors in a marketable security the gain or loss associated with the various outcomes is not totally inherent in the underlying business; it also depends on the price paid, which is established by the marketplace. The view that risk is dependent on both the nature of investments and on their market price is very different from that described by beta.” DifferentLossViewsClearCuttingRiskSecurityDependsGainsConnectionsPaidInvestmentInvestingFinancialVariousOutcomesDependentInvestorsInherentMarketplaceFinancial MarketsBeta Author:Seth Klarman
