ＣＡＰＭを使うときにベータが必要ですが、ベータはベンダーからのデータを使うことになります。一番はブルームバーグからとるのがまともで、修正ベータを使うのが良いと思っているのですが、クラスメートたちはどうやってとっていいのかわからないそうです。なので、つたない英語で以下のようなメールを出して、みんなの手伝いをしてみました。これも貢献ですよね。
I add the information to my previous mail. If you want to calculate
CAPM correctly, you had better use the historical beta.
I am not sure that the company beta from Yahoo is the figure at the
end of current term end. (this may be current beta)
However, if you use "Bloomberg" (this is not free), you can get the
historical beta. Regarding how to use the Bloomberg, please refer to
the following link.
http://www.lib.washington.edu/business/guides/beta.html
In addition, according to case homepage, we can use "Bloomberg" at PBL
251. If you want to use the historical beta, go there to find it.

This is just information again.
When you need the company beta, the easiest way is to go to Yahoo Finance.
For example, you want to get beta of starbucks corp.
1. http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=SBUX
2. more on SVUX> Key Statistics
3. You can find the beta in "Stock Price History" on the right side
of the middle of page. (0.8)
Also, the following link is very useful. If you need, please refer to it.
