About Beta 60 Month

YCharts calculates the 60 month market beta by regressing stock returns less the risk free rate of returns on the market returns less the risk free rate of return (Market returns come from the S&P 500 Total Returns Index (SPXTR), and the risk free rate is the 4 Week Average T-Bill (Monthly). There must be a minimum of 36 months of stock returns for a company to have its beta calculated.

Beta is a measure of the risk of a stock when it is included in a well-diversified portfolio.

In financial theory, the Capital Asset Pricing Model breaks down expected stock returns into two components. The first is the return that would be expected based on covariance with the movements of the market (for most stocks, when the market as a whole goes up, the price of the stock will also go up). The second part is the increase in the price of a stock that is not explained by the market. The first part - covariance with the market - is what Beta captures.

When Beta is positive, the stock price tends to move in the same direction as the market, and the magnitude of Beta tells by how much. If a stock's Beta is greater than 1, that means that when the market index goes up 1%, we expect the stock will go up by more than 1%. On the contrary, if the market goes down by 1%, we expect the stock to go down by more than 1%. Negative Betas, while rare, signify a negative correlation. When the market goes up, we would expect the stock price to go down.

For readers with a background in regression analysis, Beta is the slope of the linear regression shown in the formula below, where Returns are the return on an individual stock or portfolio, Rf is the risk free rate, RMarket is the return on a market portfolio, and e is an error term.

$PEGA is the most manipulated stock I've seen in quite a while now. Bids and Asks in level 2 are all manipulated to push the price higher.

$PEGA Looks like it may be a very potent short today with much potential :)

$PEGA Technically, earnings beat upward momentum is over. Fundamentally, very overpriced now. Also, has huge short interest.

$PEGA Huh? Is $PEGA being manipulated? Small signs during the day, but now fishy buy orders after close.. and fishy limit sells behavior.
about 90 days ago by eragmus
$PEGA Epic battle between longs and shorts! Huge block sell order of 14,200 shares was placed at the close and it closed below 36 support.

$PEGA Broke 36 again, going down... potentially an amazing short.
about 90 days ago by eragmus
$PEGA There isn't enough volume to buy OR sell. Most of the traders were in it for the gap up and spike, but have now left.
about 90 days ago by eragmus
$PEGA I admire the courage of those willing to buy at 36.. this is absolutely determined to go down, the repeated attempts are proof.
about 90 days ago by eragmus
$PEGA Back again to 36...
about 90 days ago by eragmus
$PEGA That was an oddly quick bounce. But 36 has now been broken and buyers have evaporated again.. so it will be easier to break 36 again.

$PEGA they won't let it go down... i got triggered volume is spiking up.. heavy buying here.. one more wave to go for short covering
