Lorna McCourt, a stockbroker, is consulting with Brian Lowman, an investor in IBM
B: Suppose, the stocks go down by 5 points. How much will I lose?
L: As far as I know, you have about $75,000 invested in IBM and that would be about a $20,000 loss. But that won't happen over the long run, I hope. IBM is going up steadily.
B: But anyway, what would you recommend to make a safer portfolio?

B: Well, I see, that means some additional payment?
L: Right. Brokers usually get an additional 20 percent for information about the market.
B: That'll suit me. That'll help me to avoid mistakes.
L: That'll be of some help, sure. But you've got to be aware that even the best brokers sometimes perform below average and do not pick a winner every time.
B: You have to run risks if you want to stay in the business, haven't you?
