Stock Prices and Risk Measurements Outline

I. Introduction

Risk management aims to recognize and oversee organizational risks as objectives are

met. Risks are crucial as they bring a threat to the organization's sustainability, which

may lead to bankruptcy or significant losses. The need for risk management is as a result

of the losses organizations experienced

A. Present issue: Risk management is essential in any type of investment. Any

investment's main aim is to make profits on initial capital on any entity; individuals,

firms, or government. There is a Loss of Confidence by investors and traders to invest

due to the stock market's global turbulence.

B. Population/ The Target field: Investors and traders

C. Core Terminologies:  Investment, trade, stock price, volatility

Thesis Statement: Due to capital loss in investments, Traders dread to invest their

capital in stocks due to global turbulence. Compared to the market index, how profitable

is it to invest in stocks (Camm, 2012).

II. Background

A. Historical Stock Investment Overview: Shareholders and Stockholder in the past

made huge profits due to the stability of the market (Grinblatt, and Moskowitz, 2004).

B. Historical Stock Investment Loss Overview: When the stock market crashed in

1929 and 2008, there was a significant loss of investor's capital (Altman, 2009).

C. Link between Loss of Investment and Fear of Investment: Investors who lost their

money on stock investments fear reinvesting, especially those involved in the significant

market crashes.

D. Gaps in the Research: Limited information exists on financial risks that come with

stock investments and the volatility market.

III. Prices and Risks 

A. Interest rate shifts in domestic and overseas geographical areas: Interest rate

changes can significantly impact loans taken by organizations. The sudden change in

foreign currency can impact the organization with gain or loss of a trade cycle, thus

timing differences to gain profits (Mendoza, 1995). An example is an American

liquor company that has signed an agreement to procure 100 cases at EUR 5,000 from

a French retailer. The value of the U.S. Dollar loses its value against the Euro to EUR

1 = $1.10 at the time of sale. The sum negotiated is already €5,000, but now the U.S.

dollar value is $5,500, which may be the cost that the organization will have to spend.

B. Variance in actual Budget:  Investing in overseas stocks has adverse effects on the

profitability margin of the budget-to-actual indifference (Mendoza, 1995). For

example, an organization may have budgeted the revenue of this month at $10,000,

by comparing budget data to real results; the total profits amounted to $8,000,

meaning they have a budget-to-actual-variance $2000.

C. Translation of foreign currency concerning the financial outcome restructuring:

This only applies to entities with branches outside the country. For example, if your

business is based in the U.S. but has projects in the U.K., you will need to exchange

the British pound into a U.S. dollar (Chambers and Bailey, 1996).

D. The fluctuation of Product Prices: If the price of commodity changes, it may affect

the price of a purchased stock or commodity (Takayasu and Takayasu, 2008). The

reference to the cost of the purchased item or stock may vary, creating loss or profit.

For example, overproduction of commodity or overbuying of stocks will cause the

price to go low.

VII. Conclusion

A. Restatement of Thesis: Due to capital loss in investments, Traders dread to invest their

capital in stocks due to global turbulence. Compared to the market index, how profitable is it to

invest in stocks (Camm, 2012).

B. Conclusion:  Risk management determines how much a profit an organization can make

without going on a loss. The aim was to analyze the volume of gains relative to the market index

and predictability of expected outcomes of stocks. The volatility of stocks in terms of uncertainty

relative to the market index, and essence, the calculation of applied risk management metric

called the capital asset pricing model.
