Within the CAPM equation, a higher BETA can be interpreted as...

Note CAPM: rs = rf + Beta(rm - rf)

	A.	high Beta stock: one would expect a return on the stock investment (rs) to exceed that of the S&P 500; however the riskiness of the stock would not exceed that of the market portfolio
	B.	a beta that exceeds "1.3" can be viewed as stock that is riskier than an investment in a diversified portfolio such as the S&P 500
	C.	high beta stock: the stock is riskier than the S&P 500, but one would not expect a higher return for such a stock
	D.	None of the above
