What exactly are we measuring?
We verify the security, exchange, currency, share class, benchmark, and corporate actions before calculating performance.
Financial education, with the workings visible
Stock and ETF research that shows its work.
Betta Signals is building plain-English research around filings, market history, risk, and assumptions. Every published analysis will identify its sources, dates, and calculation choices.
Launch status: No live market data is displayed yet. The data pipeline is being validated before security pages go public.
Source-linkedImportant claims point back to evidence.
Date-stampedFigures are tied to an as-of date.
Assumption-awareScenarios state what has to be true.
Correction-readyMaterial errors are fixed transparently.
A research desk, not a tip sheet
Three questions before any conclusion
A ticker is not a thesis. Our starting point is identity, evidence, and method—not a dramatic target price.
Where did the number come from?
Company filings and fund documents anchor fundamentals. Market data is identified by provider, timestamp, and adjustment method.
What could make it wrong?
Each analysis separates observations from estimates, records limitations, and tests more than one plausible scenario.
The first release
Small enough to verify properly
The broader research universe remains a roadmap. Public coverage will begin only after a deliberately difficult validation set passes symbol, pricing, dividend, split, and instrument-type checks.
Now
Method before volume
We are testing the source chain and calculation rules, including the difference between price return and total return.

A focused research library
The first complete reports will cover a limited set of widely followed stocks and ETFs. Incomplete ticker pages will not be indexed.
See research statusResearch you can audit
Facts, calculations, and judgment stay separate.
That distinction matters. A filing fact can be checked directly. A return calculation depends on dates, distributions, and adjustment rules. A scenario adds assumptions about an uncertain future.
Betta Signals will label all three rather than blending them into one authoritative-sounding answer.
Verify identity
Confirm ticker, exchange, currency, instrument type, and reporting entity.
Collect primary evidence
Prefer SEC filings, issuer reports, prospectuses, and official methodology documents.
Reproduce calculations
Record the formula, dates, benchmark, corporate actions, and missing-data treatment.
Publish with limits
State what the analysis can support, what it cannot, and when it was reviewed.
Start with one useful concept
Beta is often treated as a risk score. It is narrower than that: a historical estimate of how an investment's returns moved relative to a chosen market benchmark. Learn what the number can—and cannot—tell you.
