Beta. Leave to someone on TSO to ask a tough question. A question that I cannot answer in my state of mind. So i defer to Pring who says... "The conventional definition of beta is is based on the measure of a stock's relative volatility with the Standard and Poor's 500 Stock Index having a beta coefficient of 1.00. Stock ABC could have a beta of 0.56 relative to the S&P 500. If stock XYZ also had a beta of 0.56 , then a relative risk-free spread could be considered between ABC and XYZ, with the beta coefficient as the common denominator." He continues on but I cannot. Pring is speaking of stocks and you are referring to options. I know a guy who is skilled in this stuff. If you hit me with the question just before Saturday morning I will remember to ask him. No way I will recall if you don't remind me, hit me on P-mail. Actually, I can call him anytime, just tonight it's late here on the East Coast. If you P-Mail me, it will remind me to check with him.
