Lake Materials Ltd Stock Retained Earnings

The ability to find closely correlated positions to LAKE MATERIALS could be a great tool in your tax-loss harvesting strategies, allowing investors a quick way to find a similar-enough asset to replace LAKE MATERIALS when you sell it. If you don't do this, your portfolio allocation will be skewed against your target asset allocation.

The correlation of LAKE MATERIALS is a statistical measure of how it moves in relation to other instruments. This measure is expressed in what is known as the correlation coefficient, which ranges between -1 and +1. A perfect positive correlation (i.e., a correlation coefficient of +1) implies that as LAKE MATERIALS moves, either up or down, the other security will move in the same direction. Alternatively, perfect negative correlation means that if LAKE MATERIALS LTD moves in either direction, the perfectly negatively correlated security will move in the opposite direction. If the correlation is 0, the equities are not correlated; they are entirely random. A correlation greater than 0.8 is generally described as strong, whereas a correlation less than 0.5 is generally considered weak.
