Hi,

Observed certain stocks does not give good results with any of the query and when looked deeper insight came to know they dont follow Stock Index. It means that those are low Beta Stocks.They' re defensive stock. Like, Pharma Sector, FMCG ( Soap, Food Item)

So , when market is crashing ,people buy those stocks and when market is going up people sell it and move to higher growth stocks. It means their Beta & Alpha is reverse then normal stocks.

if anyone has explored that , based on BETA & Alpha values they'll change their strategey. Can you please let me know , how to use the Beta in BackTesting. Beacuse, Beta required some kind of comparision with other index, when we're executing it is only for particular stock . But, if we've to use Beta there should be some different way ..

Any pointers for the same ?

regards,

Kinjal Shah

Bookstores have their copy of Barron's through the weekend.

Not much of any value is free. Oh well.
