1. Fundamental Analysis You are an analyst for an investment firm. You are facing a difficult client who recently lost a substantial part of his portfolio because of a stock market downturn, and he is worried about his present holdings of a stock X (select a company that you like but stay away from big multinationals like Apple, IBM, Google, etc.). Use public data to complete a fundamental analysis of this stock (your choice) and provide a two-year recommendation to your client (buy, hold or sell).

2. You are a speculative technical trader working for an investment firm. Your supervisor wants to assess your skills before sending you to the head office in Chicago (with a large salary increase!). He deposits $100,000 (or AED 400,000, depending on the market you select) in your trading account to complete at least 4 trades using four different techniques of your choice (at least 2 for classical patterns and 2 for technical indicators). Create and execute the trading system required for each transaction and provide the following:

• The complete written plan with a copy (grab the screen) of the time-stamped chart when you decide to do the trade (before execution)
• A copy of the chart immediately after triggering the trade and another at the closing of your position (total 3 screen grabs per trade). You can go long or short, depending on the signals you get.
• You must also answer the following questions:

Did your system work? Did you lose or gain? If you lost on the transaction, why? If you gained, is it luck or skill?
