Standards Committee - Stock Exchanges
In the US, foreign listed companies may use US GAAP
or IAS or their national GAAP. If not US GAAP, a note
reconciling income statement and balance sheet items to US
GAAP is required by regulation of the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission. US domestic companies must follow US
GAAP.

RiskGrades
Risk grades, rankings, charts, and personal
tolerance. Calculating the RiskGrade measure
is a two-step process. First, we calculate how much
variation there is in the asset's price, making the most
recent history more important than outdated observations.
Second, we compare the asset's volatility to the volatility
of a basket of global equities. The ratio of these
volatilities results is a RiskGrade measure. The RiskGrade
measure can vary from 0, for cash, to values well in excess
of 1000 for highly speculative investments. RiskGrade suffers
from the same fallacies as the beta measure of risk.
