Beta for Stock Options?

terminator Recycles dryer sheets Join Date: May 2006 Posts: 230	I'm just wondering if there is an easy way to find (or calculate) beta for stock options -- or to otherwise determine risk-adjusted returns. Last year at this time a friend & I opened a small account trading LEAPS. The market (DJIA) is up about 22% in that time and I am trying to determine whether our return (about 70%) was "good" or "bad" relative to that in light of the risk we took. I tried doing some searching online but couldn't find anything like that. Thanks.
