Using the mean-variance model, Sharpe [5] and Lintner [4] have derived an equilibrium model for price determination under uncertainty. Jean [2] has tried to generalize this model so that other moments of the distribution will be taken into account. The purpose of this note is to show that unlike the Sharpe-Lintner model, Jean's results make no economic sense.
