Definitions to Improve Financial Security

Because of the significant negative effect of the SEC enforcement of the Mark-To-Market definition on financial instruments on the 2008-09 U.S. and international economy we chose to seek out anyone already with a passion around a potential counterbalancing definition. What we selected – although it does not rise to the level of Mark-To-Market was a modified Beta definition for Stock Investing. Ideally this will enable investors to make better investment decisions based on the sensitivity of a security to the movement of the general stock market. A paper has been written explaining the modified definition, see Reformulating Beta (β), but no action has been taken on implementation. Next steps are underway including an effort to identify other definitions that may also significantly factor into both investment selection and financial risk management. The team leader is seeking open enrollment.
