The beta measures an U.S. stock's volatility to the S&P 500. With a beta of 1.64, AMZN should move 1.64% for every 1% move in the market. With the Dow down about 2% and the S&P 500 2.2%, AMZN should be down at least $3.7. In the next few days/hours, this stock's volatility will be more in line with its historical norms. Maybe the beta's skewed today because most longs are jewish who're at temples and couldn't call their brokers.
