Pete from STAMFORD, CT As I read your post I didn't understand why you quoted 2.7 as the "calculated weighted beta", that is not what I calculated. However, I'm glad you responded because I noticed that I must have made a typing error. The beta for Model Portfolio I should be 1.07 not 1.7. I still don't know where you got 2.7, but maybe you made the same mistake I did. Anyway, you are correct the calculation excludes the cash position. Similar to the January issue of MARKETIMER the beta of Model Portfolio I was calculated as of 12/31/99 before the asset allocation shift. Neither I nor MARKETIMER included the cash position. There is no doubt that the beta is a lot lower now than it was as of 12/31/99, but the relevant period was when Model Portfolio I was fully invested. Best Regards. Rillinois
