Sprouts Farmers Greeks
Most traded equities are subject to two types of risk - systematic (i.e., market) and unsystematic (i.e., nonmarket or company-specific) risk. Unsystematic risk is the risk that events specific to Sprouts Farmers or Consumer Staples Distribution & Retail sector will adversely affect the stock's price. This type of risk can be diversified away by owning several different stocks in different industries whose stock prices have shown a small correlation to each other.

So, no matter how many positions you have, you cannot eliminate market risk.

Beta and standard deviation are two commonly used measures to help you make the right decision.
