Thought for the weekend
Emotions are life’s “beta”.
The concept that a stock moves with either more or less volatility than the market seems a neat analog for life. Sometimes you are the windshield, sometimes you’re the bug. We’ve all had beta 3 days, both for good or for bad. But no one except a finance person would try to quantify that with a number.
“How was your day, honey?”
Answer: “Oh, a gap up open when I got a new customer to trade with me, but a lousy close when the market went nuts after the Fed meeting.  Definitely a beta 2 day.  Hopefully tomorrow will be calmer.”
