The indicator used by Value Line to measure a stock's risk relative to the
market, in this case the NYSE Index. The market's beta is always 1.0 (Based on past
statistical records, a beta higher than 1.0 indicates that when the market rises, the
stock will rise to a greater extent than that of the market; likewise, when the market
falls, the stock will fall to a greater extent. A beta lower than 1.0 indicates that the
stock will usually change to a lesser extent than that of the market. The higher the beta,
the greater the investment risk.)
