Welcome to the Investing for Beginners podcast! Today's episode will all be about beta, causation and correlation in the stock market! It's quite a technical topic as it is hard show numbers through the podcast but we will do our best as always to piece it together as simple as possible. Listen on as we take a deep dive into volatility, what drives a stock price and more!
