6. Bond markets are generally considered to be the main alternative to the stock market. In other words, in tough times in the stock market, investors are normally understood to move funds into the bond market. Higher interest rates are supposed to signal a stock market downturn and so forth. Can you confirm, disprove or explain this standard view using market data? 7. "Robo-advisors" (WealthSimple, WealthBar etc.), the new alternative to mutual funds, seem to be fairly popular with new investors. As a rule, they claim to apply "artificial intelligence" to deliver the investor a "tailored portfolio". But a substantial body of research has shown that very few mutual fund managers can "beat the index" after fees. Do robo-advisors do any better? 8. Is the U.S. stock market in a bubble? How do you decide? I expect you to support your answer with empirical data.
