If you find yourself doing things like this your schema is messed up.  SMB is 
obviously data, not a column.  Redesign your table so that HML, SMB, UMD and Rf 
are values in a column, not the names of columns.

By the way, SQLite doesn't have a varchar type.  Your data will be interpreted 
as TEXT, and will not be truncated to 11 characters.  It would be better just 
to declare the column as TEXT.

Simon.
