mitch-c,

<<I think that there is a tight financial definition of "risk" (Beta?) that is derived from volatility and other quantitative inputs.>>

And that is something most people correlate: risk=volatility. But it ain't so. I think it is David Dreman, who in his book, Contrarian Investment Strategies: the next generation, deals with this misconception.

I'd recommend it as it also focuses on how wrong analysts usually are.
