Grading: This is a pass or fail assignment worth 5% towards your final grade.
You must provide a clean code. Make sure the grader can follow each step of your analysis. Put comments to describe what you are doing (Using MARKDOWN or using #). Remove any lines of code that is not necessary. If you struggle on a question, that is OK, as long you show all the steps that you have taken and describe what is not working. If your code is not clean and it is hard for the grader to understand what you are doing, you will fail.
SUBMISSION of ASSIGNMENT
You must print your code output. Save the Jupyter code in PDF. To do so, click on File->Download as->PDF. Or you can do, File->Print Preview.
Remove all the sample code. Keep your code only. Make sure you code works fully, from start to finish with no error message. In other words, if you close Jupyter, re-open your code, and press the PLAY button, does your code work fully with no error message?
Objectives:
Research in experimental psychology has suggested that, in violation of Bayes rule, most people overreact to unexpected and dramatic news events. The question then arises whether such behavior matters at the market level.
At every 3 year interval, on January, you will buy the worst performing stocks of the last 3 years and sell the best performing stocks and hold these stocks for 3 years.
The paper is in Quercus under assignment 3.
