Paul: Good Grub! Congratulations! I use Beta several ways. In my long term portfolio I like to see whether I have a good mix of Beta(i.e not all >2 or not all >0and<1 or not all <0). Mostly, though, I use it for my shorter term trading buys. If I'm looking for a stock to make a move soon, it is much more likely to do so with a higher Beta. Additionally, the move is likely to be more intense. Timba

I want to look at the beta numbers more out of a curiosity. I want to compare the stock's beta to a sector index beta. Why? I want to see if this help explain why a particular stock is either up or down more than the index. It might explain some of the price action. I don't use it with buys and sells. Thanks for the info.
