1) Obtain the beta for each of the 10 stocks

2) What does your portfolio's beta coefficient tell you about the tendency of the portfolio to move with the market?

3) Find the betas from a different source for your stocks. Does the ranking from most to least risky differ for your 10? Are the portfolio betas different? What does any difference in the portfolio betas imply about the accuracy of the measures of systematic risk associated with your portfolio?

4) How has each stock performed since the assignment began (percentage return and dollar return)? What is the portfolio currently worth? What is the percentage change for the portfolio?

5) How did an index of the market such as the S&P500 perform? Did your portfolio follow the market?

6) Compare the % change in value of your portfolio with the % change in the market. Was your performance better or worse?

7) If an investor desired to construct a well-diversified portfolio with moderate market risk, do the stocks you selected achieve that objective and why or why not?
