The Project!

The main purpose of this project is to analyze the impact of disclosed news on price of a stock. The time period for the analysis is from January 2007 to November 2009 (almost three years). Please refer to the "Project Instructions.doc" file for a detailed step by step guideline to complete the project work. Three stocks have been assigned for each student and the assessment would be done for each student individually.

Before you start the project work please open and verify all the resource files to check whether there is any problem opening/accessing them. You need to prepare three excel files (one per stock) for the project. Please review the sample file (Sample-071001030-ABBANK.xlsx) by checking each worksheet to understand the nature of the job you are assigned to do for the project. You need to prepare three such project files for the three assigned stocks.

If you are done completing the necessary steps for all three assigned stocks you are then ready to send me your work. Before sending me the files, review the files again carefully for last minute editing, if necessary. It would not be possible for me to accept a second time submission. The submission deadline is 15^th of December, 2009 (Tuesday). You may definitely send me the files earlier if you are done to reduce pressure of the upcoming final exams.

Send me the three excel files (one excel file per stock) to both of my email addresses (To: imran.edu@gmail.com, imran@northsouth.edu) as three attachments by the due date. Make sure to include your email address too, so that you have a copy of the sent email. You should use the prescribed format to send your work to me.

Before sending me the email please recheck your data and files minutely. I won’t be able to accommodate your request of accepting a modified version next time. Please wait at least one day for email acknowledgment from me as a confirmation of my receipt of your email. If you don’t receive my acknowledgment by one day then resend the email to me and notify my TA, Nabila at 01713004609. Please keep checking your email frequently around that period because I may send you an email as an alert if I find significant problems in your files/work.

Please do not hesitate to contact me (through emails, blog comments or personally visiting my office) if you have any questions/issues. 

Thank you and wish you best of luck for the project.
