I think everyone in here understands the overall concept and definition of risk and  imo stevo summed things up very well in his earlier post where he clearly defined risk and pointed out a half dozen or so subsequent relevant points. I agree 100% with stevo's points as they are essentially the premise I used for coming up with the way I manage my risk in my fundamental and technical analysis.  After stevo's post I haven't seen any post that wasn't essentially covered already by him.

For anyone interested in doing some research on risk analysis there is an absolute plethora of info on the www.  I googled 'calculate portfolio risk' and it came back with a truck load of sites. 

Calculating risk is by no means a trvial task and so can require extensive number crunching which the average trader would not even consider doing - and I suppose that is why no-one has posted any algorithms for actually calculating risk for a particular scenario 

But for anyone interested in an overview of risk management maybe have a look at this site which is just 1 of thousnds returned from google.

From what I see, imo this thread is now slowly starting to go round in circles and spiral inwards to the point where everyone will soon be staring at their own navels and wondering what the hell they are looking at 

I think I'll research info on 'risk' from hereon on the www where for me personally it will be more relevant and meaningful.
