Devon,
In my limited reading of financial literature, it
seems as if the standard by which stock risk is compared
(one stock to another stock comparison) is "beta" which as I
recall is a specialized regression analysis between market
values and a stock index. Is there any precedent or
literature about comparing pairs of stock returns using the
"beta" analysis, and if so, would that be similar to your
purpose for doing correlation analysis?
