Hi Randy,
The following Yahoo screen displays 7500+ stock betas.
Is there any information on how they calculate beta - time period etc.
Also, is there a way to download the data?
Regards

You could grab the data, one page at a time, using the RCHGetHTMLTable() or
RCHGetTableCell() functions.

For definition of beta, click on "Help" and then search on beta. You'll
find it on the "Understanding Key Statistics" page entry.

It would be easier to get it from FinViz (see LINKS area of group for more
details), but I don't know what their definition is.

Thanks Randy for taking the time to explain that. IT makes more sense to me now.
