EDITOR’S NOTE: We’ve written, posted and opined on concierge and retail medicine; cash based care and direct primary care medicine, and related machinations before on this ME-P. Now, Shawn Needham and his wife, Janet, discuss starting their own, independent pharmacy in the late ’90s. At first glance, this is a success story for an independent pharmacy but Shawn explains what makes their pharmacy different in a big way.

Markets DOW 33,587.66 ▼ -681.50 NASDAQ 13,031.68 ▼ -357.75 S&P 500 4,062.90 ▼ -89.20 Crude Oil 65.85 ▲ +0.57

Alpha:  The measure of the amount of a stock’s expected return that is not related to the stock’s sensitivity to market volatility. It measures the residual non-market influences that contribute to a securities risk unique to each security.

Alpha uses beta as a measure of risk, a benchmark and a risk free rate of return (usually T-bills) to compare actual performance with expected performance.

CITATION: https://www.r2library.com/Resource/Title/0826102549

Product Details

For example, a fund with a beta of .80 in a market that rises 10% is expected to rise 8%. If the risk-free return is 3%, the alpha would be –.6%, calculated as follows:

(Fund return – Risk-free return) – (Beta x Excess return) = Alpha   

(8% – 3%) – [.8 × (10% – 3%)]           = – .6%           

A positive alpha indicates out performance while a negative alpha means under-performance.
