- Use the same stock you used last week + 5 additional stocks of your choosing.

- Build your best model for each stock using the tools we have covered in the course.
- Use these six stocks to create an “index” of your choosing.
- Create daily closing data for your index using the stock closing data
- Build your best model for your “index”
- Use your seven models to predict the closing prices for each for the first seven trading days of October (do not bring in the October data).
- Write a ~5 page report that outlines:
- The stocks you chose and how you combined them to create an index.
- The methods used to build your best models, highlighting any differences between the approaches based on differences in your data.
- Outline each of your best models and how they were used to develop the seven day forecast.
- Outline the process you recommend be implemented using your model to make a profit on trading these stocks going forward. Assume you have $100,000 to invest in any mix of these stocks.
- Gather the actual closing information and show how your process would have made or lost money if implemented in the first 7 trading days of October.
