 Does anyone know the the look-back periods for these indicators used in StockFetcher:
 
 *Beta
 *STD Dev
 
 If so, what are they?

 Hey Gene,
 
 Beta is 36 months according to SF
 
 It looks like Standard Deviation period is set by a user by putting a value inside the parentheses, according to SF.

 Thanks, Ed...
 
 I’m trying to work on a SF script where I can show a “risk-adjusted” rate of return, taking into consideration the volatility of a stock’s beta (or standard deviation).  In other words — looking back, say, 1 year —
 
 SP500
 Set {a, ROC(252) / Beta}
 Add column a {RAR}
 Sort column (?) descending
 
 This would produce a table of S&P 500 stocks that would rank (sort) such stocks with the best (highest) risk-adjusted returns at the top.
 
 Not sure if this really means anything, but it’s just something I would like to work on.  Maybe I can show you next Saturday if you’re going to be at our local VectorVest User Group meeting.  Will you be there?
