Literature is reviewed on the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAMP), a risk-return tradeoff, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), the US and UK financial firm's stocks, etc. The degree of operational risk faced by both UK and US financial firms is measured using CAMP and analyzing the stock data of the Citigroup, Sky Financial Group, Merrill Lynch, Sterling Financial Corporation, Barclays, Natwest, HSBC, and Abbey. Conclusions are made about the risks and profitability of financial institutions' stocks in the USA and UK.
