What is the basis of the beta for investment decision and can you explain the usefulness and relevance of the concept of the beta in the investment?
Beta describes the relationship between the volatility of a stock with respect to the market as a whole (which the market represented by a suitable index). A beta of less than one means that the stock is less volatile than the index, and vice-versa. Basically, if a benchmark returns 10%, and you're considering a stock with a beta of 1.5%, that means the stock needs to have a return of greater than 15% for it to be worthwhile.

How do stock dividends affect stock indexes?
The stock that forms the part of the index will have a weight in the index, i.e. how much the movement of that stock affects the movement of the index. When a dividend goes ex, this will trigger a 'drop point' on the index. This is calculated from the value of the dividend, the weight in the index and the fx rate, if the stock is priced in a different currency from the index. When a dividend goes ex, the price of the underlying stock will open that morning lower by the amount of the dividend. This usually doesn't have a huge effect as the percentage change is well within day trading movements of a stock anyhow. The same applies for the level of an index move - the index will open lower by the drop point amount, but will generally be negligible on the movements of intra-day trading anyhow. You may have to be careful with special dividends, as they can be a higher percentage of the stock trading price, which may actually cause a noticeable drop in intra day trading price. They can also affect index levels. Dividends have a different effect on options though, but generally the price of a basic call / put would already have been adjusted before the ex-date. If you have a structured product, for example a vertical spread consisting of 2 long and 2 short options, then your position won't be affected as what you lose on one you will make on the other. If you have a time spread where your position is dependant on the stock price staying where it is, then you need to do further analysis on your Greeks and how it will affect option price. Thanks.
