- The leap -a giant quantum leap- made by most goes like this:
-
- At equilibrium, the market is at its mean.
- If the market is disturbed from its equilibrium and rises by 2% above its mean,
- then its return will also rise by 2% above its mean.
- Same for an individual stock.
-
- Therefore if the stock beta is 1.5, and if the market rises by 2% then the
- stock should rise by 3%...
