Evaluating Risk Mitigation Strategies
An investor makes the following claim: "If I buy a newly-issued 10-year government bond and hold it until it matures, my investment is completely free from the risk of losing money due to fluctuations in market prices. However, if I buy shares of stock and plan to sell them in 10 years, my investment is fully exposed to that risk."
Evaluate the accuracy of this two-part claim. Justify your reasoning for both the bond and the stock scenarios.
