1. For you to decide if a corporations stock is a good buy or sell, you must forecast several key variables, including the stock price.

o Use historical prices (5 years of monthly data recommended) and forecast the stock price for the next year. Use regression analysis, and/or moving average, etc. to create your forecast.

o Create a graph from the historical data and show your forecast on the same graph. You can add a trend line to the graph to help you with a forecast. Include the graph in your report.

o You need to say specifically what the forecasted value of the stock price is.

o You must address the question, Is this forecast reasonable? Must you amend your analysis to get a more reasonable forecast?
