    i have considered beta weighted hedging of my portfolio but since the dog stocks i trade dont really have high beta it didnt make sense.

    but if i was holding mids or blue chip. (eg fmg and bhp)
    i would calculate the beta of my portfolio
    here is a link explains it better.
    https://www.thebalancemoney.com/how-to-calculate-your-portfolio-beta-4590382
    and this is how you would calculate the beta of a stock . using eod data. at the bottom vid



    so lets say i have calculated the beta of my portfolio of 1.2 and my portfolio is 50k.
    so the total i ll need to hedge is 60000 because ( 1.2 x 50k)

    lets use BBOZ as a hedge for my portfolio in this example.
    price today is 24.54
    and i know the beta is around -2.46 x (means when xjo goes up by 1% beta goes down 2.4%)
    and also because its says so https://www.betashares.com.au/fund/australian-equities-strong-bear-fund/

    how many bboz do i need to hedge 60000?

    so number of stock = 60000 / 2.4/ 24.54


    1018 stocks in bboz to hedge.


    all in theory.
