Damodaran On Beta Risk

Professor Aswath Damodaran, Professor of Finance from the New York University Stern School of Business, lectures about beta risk using a light hearted example of walking between 8th Avenue and Broadway in New York City and using the businesses, retail brands and hotels you see along the way to illustrate the concept of high betas and low betas.
