Dave, I would be looking for a standard deviation over
time, a year would be max. 

I read an AAII article about measuring stock/portfolio
risk using standard deviation. It determines the
amount by which most actual returns varied around the
average return over a period of time, which provides a
volatility measurement. The higher the standard
deviation, the greater the volatility.  Apparently
it’s an alternative to the beta measurement.

I did some searching and didn't find and sites with
this info. Thought I would check with this super
canslim support group. Some analysis paralysis while
waiting for the market to turn around.

Thanks
