- Auto InsuranceIn the investment world, risk is the chance that an investment will lose value. But how does one measure risk, particularly in a period right now where risk seems to be everywhere?

This is a lot like how an insurance company may look at pricing your auto insurance. Using statistics such as your age and driving history does provide some insight into how risky individuals of your age and driving history may be to insure. But statistical measures by their very nature are backwards looking and based on events that happened in the past.
