Reginald,

I think we are again getting caught up in the nomenclature issues. Overtly, most people may consider risk to be risk of loss of capital, but if we dig deeper into their actions we will note that uncertainty of reward (positive, or negative i.e. loss) is really what stands for risk. That is what academicians try to capture by the volatility or standard deviation.

As for quantitative measures, I am in complete agreement that static volatility measures are at risk of failure in a dynamic market.
