Market Risk

What does it Mean? The day-to-day potential for an investor to experience losses from fluctuations in securities prices. This risk cannot be diversified away.

Also referred to as "systematic risk".
Investopedia Says... The beta of a stock is a measure of how much market risk a stock faces.
