Again, you show your weak hands. Specific risk is the component of risk that can be reduced via diversification, not systematic risk. Second, Beta is a measure of market risk - more precisely the covariance of price volatility to market volatility. You've been unable to get anything right in this discussion. First, you say there is only one kind of risk. Then you say risk and return are unrelated. Now you confuse specific and systematic risk, suggesting that Beta is a "specific risk" measure. Everytime you've ever opened your mouth online, you show yourself as a lightweight punk ("beta boy" lol). You better have focussed on marketing or operations because you surely didnt get your money's worth or have an aptitude for finance. Judging by your investment choices and your fractured understanding, aptitude is the likely explanation. What I told you stands - you know just enough to hurt yourself - you must have heard beta in class but now you don't understand what it is or what it measures. Likewise with systematic and specific risk measures. No more responses are necessary, there is no intellectual challenge with you.
