Talk:Risk and return

PURPOSE OF ARTICLE

The purpose of this article (page) is to provide an online reference to investment risk and reward as presented in investment textbooks, and supplemented by less academic investment books, especially those written by Boglehead authors (e.g., Bogle, Larimore et al, Swedroe, W. Bernstein, Ferri). The intent is not to promote Boglehead investment philosophy (or anything else), although much of BH investment philosophy is based on standard finance theory, so there should be no conflict.

STYLE

The intended style of the article is Wikipedia style, as opposed to tutorial or book style; e.g., the use of personal pronouns is avoided. The intention is to base everything on credible sources, as defined by Wikipedia policy, and not interject opinions of the authors. This should minimize debate about the actual content. Obviously contradictory points of views are fine (actually encouraged) as long as they are based on credible sources. --Kevin M 16:10, 2 April 2012 (CDT)
