For instance, a beta of 1.0 signifies that Textron will move in tandem with the market, a beta of 2.0 means the stock will move up twice as much as the general market, and so on. In this case, Textron has a beta of 2.31, which is pretty high. Generally speaking, I like to see a beta below 1.2 for retirees.</i>Jim Peethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649414726939918803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26981669.post-22021380498396991982011-03-31T18:14:09.457-05:002011-03-31T18:14:09.457-05:00Ford (F) is my highest Beta stock<a href="https://www.mworld.com/m/m.w?lp=Search&ticker=f&x=44&y=6" rel="nofollow">Ford (F)</a> is my highest Beta stockJim Peethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649414726939918803noreply@blogger.com
