Q6: What is the Correlation Coefficient (Say between two stockreturns over time)? How do standard deviations and covarianceinteract in this equation (show equation)? What is the correlationbetween stocks/bond market returns, and inflation/inflationexpectations/interest rates over time? What does a -1, 0, and +1correlation mean? Show equation and answer all questions! Q7: Showthe Portfolio Standard Deviation (equation). Say for total returnson assets in a stock portfolio. Show equation! --What would HIGHcovariance between stocks in the portfolio have on the portfoliostandard deviation? --What would LOW covariance between stocks inthe portfolio have on the portfolio standard deviation?
