    “Which of the following types of risk can be reduced by diversification?” was an MCQ question that got me stuck, because I believe all 4 choices could be reduced by diversification

    A.

    High interest rates – can be reduced by buying bonds with different durations

    B.

    Inflation – you could add more equities to your portfolio

    C.

    Labor strikes – You could invest in companies with varying levels of dependence on labor

    D.

    Recessions – you could invest in defensive stocks like gun manufacturers and discount places like Walmart/Costco
