Strategy of proof:
First we construct zero beta portfolios and argue by
arbitrage.
Next we use linear algebra and argue by
contradiction.
APT Proof (no idiosyncratic risk)
Choose such that k 0 for k 1, 2..., K and 1 0
This portfolio has zero cost and zero risk .
By No Arbitrage ri 0

Suppose ri 0 bij j for some i 1,..., n
