possibility of little risk is also avoided. This strategy is used when success
or fall of a stock business is unknown. Different positions in stocks should be
taken for short and long positions in order to take more benefit from the
market. Good selections are chosen from the market to avoid risk. Good stocks
are selected by taking short or long positions in stock market. Neutral

focus while zero beta versus is taken to escape the systematic risk. Calculated
risks are taken.
