Alternative ways to invest in AMC Entertainment
Buying shares in just one company is generally considered a riskier bet than investing in a range of investments - AKA a "diversified portfolio". Experts generally recommend holding a mix of investments in specific assets and funds. Funds are ready-made portfolios of multiple companies' shares (potentially including AMC Entertainment), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.
AMC Entertainment is a major part of the NYSE, so it's included in many global funds and investment trusts, as well as tracker-style exchange traded funds (ETFs).
Is it a good time to buy AMC Entertainment stock?
Only you can make the decision on the time to leap... but here's some supporting information and analysis.
Share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, AMC Entertainment's shares have ranged in value from as little as $3.585 up to $54.9706. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while AMC Entertainment's is 1.798. This would suggest that AMC Entertainment's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).

- Cinemark (CNK.US): 2.53
- Marcus Corporation (MCS.US): 7.34
