portfolio volatility = "\\sqrt{Var(X+Y+Z)}"

"Var(X+Y+Z)=Var(X)+Var(Y)+Var(Z)"

X - Stock A, Y - Stock B, Z - Stock C

"Var(X)=0.217,Var(Y)=0.1725,Var(Z)=0.232"


portfolio volatility = "\\sqrt{0.217+0.1725+0.232}=0.788"


relationship among the stocks return:

correlation coefficients:

"r_{XY}=-0.187" - a non significant very small negative relationship

"r_{XZ}=0.633" - a non significant large positive relationship

"r_{YZ}=-0.094" - a non significant very small negative relationship
