4. Term Of The Day 📚
Beta
📖Definition: Beta (β) measures a security’s volatility relative to the broader market (typically benchmarked to an index like the S&P 500)
📊Why it matters: A beta >1 means the asset swings more than the market, indicating higher risk and potential return; a beta <1 suggests lower volatility and smoother performance
💡Example: A stock with a beta of 1.5 is expected to rise or fall 1.5% for every 1% move in its benchmark—useful for matching portfolio risk to your goals
5. Song Of The Day 🎧
🎧 Song of the Day Track: “Midnight Mirage” – Solstice Drift
Why it hits: Released June 30, this chillwave-electronic gem weaves dreamy synths and hypnotic beats—great for keeping your flow going as markets shift
