[@Techinsane011]

Teaching is a gift and this guy has plenty of it. Thanks for explaining the Beta!

[@sarabrusa9449]

I want to cry. I’ve been in such pressure for my final exam, 4 years of university couldn’t explain how this guy explains. Thank you !

[@qaiserelahi122]

Teaching is a beautiful art of communicating to others and not everyone can teach as clearer like him.

[@normjones8867]

2 hour lecture explained in 10 minutes thanks very much mate

[@htoolay6581]

I come here depressed when I don't understand my professor's teaching which took about half day. I realised I'm not that stupid as I thought. This is crystal clear. Thank you.

[@lisfong]

You explained beta better in

[@omgiheartpie]

You are extremely concise and informative. Please continue doing these videos, you're doing many people a gigantic favour by being so selfless and offering them free videos on finance. I personally have benefited a lot from your videos and want to express my gratitude.

[@BudsChiefington]

Your videos are INCREDIBLY informative and well structured. As a finance/econ undergrad student, your videos have been a great help.

[@dorbitan2935]

i tried for an hour to understand it, and after i saw your video i got it completely. thank you very much for this!

[@patriciaalfonso6125]

Mr Bennett you are a brilliant presenter. A topic I thought was complex, difficult and boring has been explained in a way that makes it seem simple, fun and relevant. No bells & whistles, no powerpoint presentation, just a whiteboard (Steve Jobs style). I will look out for videos by you.

[@garthbuck4274]

Watching this video 10yrs after first aired...you are a very good tutor :-)

[@jonnysantos5074]

Your explanations are easy on the mind. Thanks for this video

[@hassanwaheed8539]

you are a life saver!!!!! I pay 9000k a year and my lecturers can not explain this to me but I can go on youtube for free and understand it in just 11 minutes

[@alanle18]

Your tuition is $9 million????

[@MeetYourArchitect]

@@alanle18 perhaps he means 9000k in a foreign currency which is way cheaper than dollar..

[@ashwinbhagat1989]

Thank you tim. You are a gifted communicator. With insights in what you teach. You made such a complex topic a cakewake to understand. Thanks again. God bless you.

[@jasonjackson4043]

Pure brilliance. You're just a great teacher and I hope you never stop!

[@mediarockit]

You managed to convey the idea to me. Thank you, sir. After watching 5 different people babble on, I finally get it. Thanks again. 😊 May Fortune smile upon you!

[@andreasch2201]

I wish all of my professors had your enthusiastic stance sir! Well said!

[@entertainity]

amazing. the tutorial is built up perfectly: intro, explanation/example, uses, criticisms ...l. good stuff

[@SixtoSanMartin]

That was actually a really good regression explanation given the time constraint and focus of the this video, great job!

[@1991sherlock]

Absolutely incredible, how easy you can teach a rather complicated faktor from portfolio analysis. Great Video, Thank you very much :)

[@florencekanu8690]

I appreciate this video. I now have a clearer understanding of beta.

[@melissaarnold2300]

This explanation still holds a lot of water till today. Am from Germany,I've had issues trading with some foreign exchange sites because of my address as a restriction. How else can someone like me trade? Because I want to make couple of extra cash.hi

[@karlbetrand1301]

I used to have this same issue with the NADEX broker site.

[@karlbetrand1301]

I tried to open an Account on NADEX but the authority does not allow my country address on the prescribed client opening form.

[@karlbetrand1301]

One thing that could work for you is to get an investment portfolio with a broker manager and start investing either long term or short term.

[@melissaarnold2300]

Okay. I love the sound of that.

[@melissaarnold2300]

Let me get more information on that.

[@samaiech7587]

Well done ! It's the optimal level of details for those who are not knowledgeable in statistics or economy and start learning about financial markets. Just the way I like it , no boring stuff like regression analysis and the Gauss or Cauchy distributions. :p Thanks a lot !

[@G35Sajan]

Thank you so much. My teacher is very hard to understand and you have made it so simple.

[@therealdas]

thanks for explaining the beta..This is very helpful. I wish I were as good as you teaching this.

[@zalravil]

Clear and easy to understand. Thank you, Tim Bennett.

[@sevak001]

[@JoeMaule]

[@texan4958]

Outstanding lecture. Thank you so much!

[@ersinaydin7]

Thank you very much! you make it very easier and so understandable!

[@thomasrones6999]

This makes me want to look at betas based on different timescales and compare them!

[@olurotimiwilliams]

You are a fantastic teacher. I thank you for this video.

[@ajaysinha4689]

Way of explaining is excellent.

[@sandramosley1578]

This was a great explanation for Beta. Thank you.

[@willchatman8935]

Thank you. Great informative teaching skill and style 👍🏾

[@benprofessab1496]

Is the beta listed on the stock market or do you have to calculate it?

[@amirbouziga]

No surprise Tim outstanding job, thanks.

[@travelbug1988]

Thank you very much for this. Now I understand. I really must say you are an excellent teacher. I'm a fan!

[@boitshepogaitate43]

This made so much sense! It clarified a lot. Thank you :) ..

[@donald_trummp]

Isn’t mining companies are usually kind of protective investment, similar to commodities like eg gold?

[@sanguinj]

Excellent explanation! Thanks for sharing

[@richardgreen3386]

Presumably, a Beta value where the benchmark is more specific (eg sector) would be a means of being able to measure performance vs peers instead of a more general marker index (S&P 500). I do not see this being discussed or even the benchmark being explicitly stated when Beta is quoted. What do we assume to be the benchmark if not explicitly stated?

[@Trackman2007]

Fantastic explanation! Clicks right away.

[@Peekcasso]

Couldn´t you also compare betas from different time spans and then check if there is a trend if the beta is rising or falling? Would that make sense?

[@MercuriallMan]

very informative, thank you ... have a question for you though, If Beta is not a true indicator of how volatile a stock can be with compared to the current market then how could it be trusted?

[@reggierico]

One area that you did not include in your analysis is time. with regards to long term investing vs. short term. Over time, even high beta stock will eventually go up in value, just like low beta stocks, right? I would venture that timing is important as well, especially for very volatile (high beta) stock. Also, very basic question here; Where is the beta of a stock when you look at its portfolio or pull it up on your broker's analysis page?

[@baldevsinghkohli9644]

He is an excellent teacher.

[@karl4813]

What is the beta of bitcoin? Or a similar value for the relative change of the bitcoin value?

[@kingtom6433]

can you calculate beta based on gold price rather that the market? i guess not, now we know there has been so much tampering with market / gold price??

[@MeetYourArchitect]

By the way how good is the long-short equity strategy ?

[@nathanlane7371]

What about negative beta where they move the opposite way to the general market. For example Lidl or Poundland

[@spoorthipurumala207]

Thank you for all the knowledge sharing :) This series is very helpful

[@s.c.b.8910]

Thank you! I've been spending days trying to get my head around what the hell beta exactly is and why it makes the CML and SML differ from each other.

[@meach67]

Thanks now I just put CML and SML together with Beta! haha So many things you can learn on youtube.

[@c.f3433]

so the correlation between a share and the rest of the market?

[@jennvp1234]

love your videos, so easy to understand and well explained!

[@loska23]

Thank you sooo much for the video. Greetings from Dominican Republic!

[@herrowbirry]

@Tim! If I average say the beta produced from the past 6 months 1 year 5 year etc. would that help or is that a rudimentary use of math/stats

[@lemaianh5746]

How do you calculate beta for each stock?

[@discountmethodinyi-jing148]

I ask you a key question: Ra = Rf + Beta * (Rm - Rf) Ra = 5% with price of stock a $15 Rf = 3% with market value of bond market $100*10^6 Rm = 7% with market value of stock market $100*10^9 and Beta = 0.5 So, CAPM is relative equilibrium, i.e. 5% = 3% + 0.5 * (7% - 3%), and it is wondered how to exchange stock return Ra for stock profits $Ra for real capital asset pricing? In reality, this is a key mistake of CAPM.

[@jacobhernandez4347]

I’m here out of curiosity on the books I’m reading , it’s like learning a language but WACC formula lead me here , I’m just barely getting my associates in accounting it’s exiting to see how complex it is to Valuate a Business it is like an art

Why will mining stocks be more volatile?
