In the investment world, betas refer to the standard deviation between the stock and the market index average. Historical is based on past performance. Adjusted takes into account factors for a clearer interpretation. Fundamental betas often used for predictions assume that the stock is approaching the index current average.

Can Two securities with the same stand-alone risk can have different betas?

Yes, two securities with the same stand-alone risk can have different betas because beta measures the systematic risk of a security in relation to the market. Even if two securities have the same stand-alone risk, their sensitivities to market movement can be different, leading to different betas. Factors such as business model, industry dynamics, and financial leverage can contribute to the discrepancy in betas.


Is beta decay affected by Aluminum?

If you have a material that emitts Beta particles there is nothing that will effect that process. However, once the Betas are emitted you can block them with Aluminum or most anything else. How many you block will depend on how fast the Betas are going and how thick your blocking material is.


What change in mass occurs when a radioactive atom emits an alpha particle?

4 from the alpha. Betas have negligible mass and gammas have no mass.


How can you measure volatility using beta?

You can use Beta to measure market volatility because of beta is the elasticity of a stock change as a result of a change in the market. That is, Beta of a sotck is found by comparing the senstivity of a stock's return to the fluctuations in the market.Beta is found by dividing the product of the covwariances of the stock and market retun by the variance of the market.The bench marks of betas are as followed:a risk free investment such as a Tbill (that is guaranteed a return) will have a beta of 0.A portfolio with risk equivalent to the market has a beta of 1.Given those two bench mark, you can gauge at the volatility of the stock/investment by comparing its beta with those two extremes.


Is the negative meson the same as the beta particle?

No. Beta particles are electrons (sometimes positrons, the antiparticles of electrons, are referred to as betas also). "Negative meson" is not a specific particle. It would be a type of particle which is a) a meson, or two-quark hadron, and b) negatively charged. There are several particles which fit that description, but none of them are electrons (or positrons), which are not hadrons but leptons (a type of elementary particle, not made up of quarks at all). --------------------------------------------------------------- No, a beta particle is an electron or positron. Mesons are not produced by radioactive decay, but appear in nature only as short-lived products of very high-energy interactions in matter and are composed of one quark and one antiquark, bound together by the strong interaction. Charged mesons decay (sometimes through intermediate particles) to form electrons and neutrinos. Uncharged mesons may decay to photons.

Why did your beta change color and die?

I think because I have had about a hundred betas and every time they were about to die they changed to a different color. yes they do it happened to all my betas before they died and it said on betas .com so I think so!


Will the goldfish die if it is bitten by a beta?

No, it will not die, but don't be worried by your beta attacking a goldfish. Betas are usually only violent toward other betas, so your goldfish is safe. Also, I believe betas are tropical fish and goldfish are coldwater, but I have heard many sucess stories of betas surviving years in coldwater tanks and bowls. Best of luck
