  1. Go to www.mhhe.com/edumarketinsight. Select the Company tab and enter the ticker symbol HET. Click on the Stock Report link in the S&P Stock Reports section to view the report for Harrah's Entertainment.

  2. How does Harrah's rate in terms of volatility? Look for its (high, average, low) rating on the left side of the first page of the stock report.

  3. In the "Key Stock Statistics" section, find the answer to the question "How much would I have today if I invested $10,000 in HET five years ago?" Using this information, calculate the Holding Period Return (HPR) on Harrah's stock.

  4. Repeat the steps above for Amgen (AMGN), a biotechnology firm. Is the relative riskiness of the two firms in line with what you would have predicted?
