| Beta measures how a stock tends to move relative to the market, but it’s only a long-term statistical average, not a rule. In real time, stocks often deviate from that relationship, especially during periods of sector rotation. Low beta doesn’t automatically mean safety, and high beta doesn’t always mean higher risk.

The real edge comes from combining it with momentum, relative strength, and an understanding of where capital is actually flowing. 📺Full episode: Catch me daily on The Real Investment Show: https://www.youtube.com/@TheRealInvestmentShow |
