Choose two
stocks from different industries, for example, a fast food chain and a
medical high tech firm. Collect
weekly closing stock prices for the last six months as well as a measure
of the market as a whole (Dow-Jones, S&P 500). Use the data you have
collected to examine the relationships between the percent change in the
stock prices and the percent change in the market as a whole.
Write a report,
explaining what the two companies produce, how they are doing and
whatever other pertinent information an investor might want to know.
Be sure to include the information on the relationships you have
discovered from the exercise in the above paragraph.
Your report should include embedded graphs of these
relationships.
Prepare a brief five to
ten minute presentation using Powerpoint.
This presentation should be aimed at the investment advisory
group for the Economics Trust Company (the class).
