Answer 1

1) It depends on the situation. The S&P index 500 is the market portfolio. There might be fluctuation now and then yet it will earn a positive return

2) The interest rates as measured by 10 year treasury bond will have the oppurtunity of increase in the future. It is usually a risk free rate.

3) GM (General Motors)

WMT (Walmart)

AAL (American airlines)

CSCO (Cisco)
