Speaking of betas and other stuff...

I don't know if any of you have had the occasion to use this website:

http://www.valuepro.net/

It is based upon the formulas used in the book "Streetsmart Guide to Valuing a Stock" by Gary Gray, et al. Essentially it is the technique of valuing a stock using the discounted free cash flow to the firm. It is an interactive site where you can change many variables of a stock to arrive at different intrinsic values. The book has helped me in learning how to approach the research of a stock and how the different metrics effect the price of a stock.

The site also shows the betas of the stocks. I have noticed that the betas reported on this site differ from those reported on Yahoo. These betas will probably also differ those reported by Value Line, though I have yet to check that out.

I am just passing this along for what it is worth.
