Question:

Following is an excerpt from an article, "Risk and Reward," in The Economist of October 20, 1990:

Next question: is the CAPM supported by the facts? That is controversial, to put it mildly. It is a tribute to Mr. Sharpe [cowinner of the 1990 Nobel Prize in Economics] that his work, which dates from the early 1960s, is still argued over so heatedly.
