So the higher the debt-to-capital ratio (i.e., financial leverage), the riskier the company.

Correlation Between GeoVax and Home Federal Bancorp

In general, Stock analysis is a method for investors and traders to make individual buying and selling decisions. Stock correlation analysis is also essential because it can help investors realize that they may not be as diversified as they think. Risk management strategies are usually required to make sure all portfolios are properly aligned against their risk tolerance level. You can consider holding GeoVax Labs together with similar or unrelated positions with a negative correlation. For example, you can also add Home Federal to your portfolio. If Home Federal is not perfectly correlated to GeoVax Labs it will diversify some of the market risks out of the positively correlated stocks in your portfolio. However, the disadvantage of this sort of hedging is that it can potentially affect your investment returns throughout market cycles. When GeoVax Labs, for example, performs excellent and delivers stable returns, the negatively correlated position you locked in as a hedge may drag your returns down.
Are you currently holding both GeoVax Labs and Home Federal in your portfolio? Please note if you are using this as a pair-trade strategy between GeoVax Labs and Home Federal, watch out for correlation discrepancy over time. Relying on the historical price correlations and assuming that it will not change may lead to short-term losses. Please check pair correlation details between GOVX and HFBL for more information.
