Risk is a concept that denotes the precise probability of specific eventualities. Technically, the notion of risk is independent from the notion of value and, as such, eventualities may have both beneficial and adverse consequences. However, in general usage the convention is to focus only on potential negative impact to some characteristic of value that may arise from a future event. Risk can be defined as “the threat or probability that an action or event will adversely or beneficially affect an organization's ability to achieve its objectives”[1]. In simple terms risk is ‘Uncertainty of Outcome’, either from pursuing a future positive opportunity, or an existing negative threat in trying to achieve a current objective. From Wikipedia under the

They make a dust which enters the rest of the body and increases cancer risk. Any info out there on this? Asked by Annoja - Sun Dec 16 16:10:27 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. A steel foundry worker is significantly has increased exposure to cancer from metal dust and fumes. Alloys such as chromium that are used to make stainless steel are very cancerous. Having said that though, I would have no problem with a metal hip replacement put in my body. Once the part is heat treated in the oven and cooled, the part becomes very strong and will not easily grind to dust. I would not worry about any cancer risk having surgical steel inplanted in my body as the chromium is so tightly bound to the other alloys that it can not be released.

Q. I am doing my taxes and I am stumped by the at risk part. We have a small farm and raise a few animals. We plan to expand in the future. But for now, I am trying to figure out what is at risk and what is not and the IRS publications are too confusing about this topic. Is at risk property any property that has a mortgage? or a loan against it? We don't owe any money on the livestock, but we have a mortgage. What do I do? Thanks a bunch in advance.

Example: You have a cow that you bought with a loan. If you default on the loan, you lose the cow.. You are at risk. Example 2: You have 6 goats. You get a loan to buy the the goats. If you don't pay the loan, your father-in-law loses HIS chickens to pay the debt. YOU are not at risk for the loan. For the most part, unless someone is assuming the risk, you run a business, farm, etc., you are 100% at risk! -- A Damn Fine Tax Advisor Answered by WealthBuilder - Tue Apr 17 20:15:38 2007 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Risk" |
