Question #2:

Find weekly historical price data from January 1, 2000 to the present for at least three stocks, commodities or index funds and use them in a multiple regression model to predict the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The document “Getting Stock Price Data” in the Generally Useful Files section of the Course Documents explains how to get this information from Yahoo! Finance. Kudos for getting the best or worst correlation in the class.

Data Period: January 1, 2000 through February 11, 2013

Final Equation: Dow Jones = 4,412.51 + 128.92*JPM + 22.99*WMT + 15.03*XOM

*All P-values are significant*

JPM = JP Morgan

WMT = Wal-Mart

XOM = Exxon Mobil
