Plains GP Greeks

Unsystematic risk is the risk that events specific to Plains GP or Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels 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.
