In this episode, Brian Montes discusses the concept of beta and its impact on swing trading. Beta measures a stock's volatility relative to the overall market performance. A beta of 1 indicates that the stock moves in line with the market, while a beta greater than 1 means the stock is more volatile than the market. Beta can help swing traders determine the risk level of their trades and optimize their trading positions. Stocks with a lower beta are less volatile and may be suitable for less risky approaches, while stocks with a higher beta offer the potential for higher returns but also come with more risk.
