Join us for a deep dive into the fascinating world of market beta estimation! In this episode, we explore the methods used to calculate beta, the classic measure of stock risk, and evaluate their accuracy using innovative techniques. Discover the limitations of traditional approaches, the surprising effectiveness of averaging beta estimates, and the role of noise and bias in financial modeling. Plus, we unpack how option-implied betas predict short-term market movements and challenge the long-standing assumption that higher risk equals higher reward. Tune in for insights that will change the way you think about risk and returns in investing!
