Is it possible for a stock to have high total risk but low systematic risk?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Yes, it is possible for a stock to have a high total risk and yet a low systematic risk. A firm's stock may have a significant amount of volatility, but it may also have low correlation with the general market. Low market correlation would imply a low beta, thus a low level of systematic risk.
