Here’s one of mine:
I couldn’t remember the what CML and SML corresponded to.. so I pictured a “C” corresponding to the CML.. and the “C” looked like the efficient frontier plot. So I remembered CML corresponded to the line tangent to the efficient frontier.
And the SML line corresponds to the Systematic risk. S = Systematic.
