Beta is a measure of risk relative to the market. If VLNC has a beta of 2, it generally means that on average, over the period in which the data resulting in a 2 was collected, VLNC would be twice as volatile as the overall market. So, if the market fell 1%, VLNC could be expected to fall 2% and if the market rose 1%, VLNC likewise could have been expected to rise 2%. Because the market generally finds tough sledding in environments of rising interest rates, a higher beta stock is considered by many to be especially dangerous in periods of rising interest rates.
