A forecast shows improving to declining economic conditions with the following probabilities: improving (0.2), stable (0.5), and declining (0.3). What is the preferred market segment for the investor, and what is the expected return percentage? At a later date, a revised forecast shows a potential for an improvement in economic conditions.
