I need help writing this 3 page paper for my investment analysis class

Project Instructions I would like you to begin by thinking of the strategy you want to employ for this project. There are numerous investment strategies in finance. Here are just a few of them: 1) Value style managers look for stocks that are incorrectly priced given the issuer's exiting assets and earnings. They employ traditional valuation measures that equate a stock's price to the company's intrinsic value. Value companies tend to have relatively low price/earnings ratios, pay higher dividends and have historically more stable stock prices. The value manager's basic assumption is that the issuer's worth will, at some point, be revalued and thereby generate gains for the money manager. There are several reasons that a stock might be undervalued: the company may be so small that the stock is thinly traded and doesn't attract much interest; the company is operating in an unpopular industry; the corporate structure is complicated, making analysis difficult or the stock price may not have fully reacted to positive new developments. Value stocks are typically found in slower-growing sectors of the economy like finance and basic industry but there are bargains to be found even in "growth" sectors such as technology. 2) Growth style managers typically focus on an issuer's future earnings potential. They try to identify stocks offering the potential for growing earnings at above-average rates. Where value managers look at current earnings and assets, growth managers look to the issuer's future earnings power. Growth is generally associated with greater upside potential relative to style investing and, of course, it has concomitant greater downside risk. 3) Index strategies tend to mimic an index by purchasing the same weights and types of securities found in the index, such as an S&P fund. Investing in an index fund is a form of passive investing. The primary advantage to such a strategy is the lower management expense ratio on an index fund. Also, a majority of mutual funds fail to beat broad indexes such as the S&P 500. 4) Global strategists build a diversified portfolio of securities from many countries throughout the globe. (Not to be confused with an international strategy, which may include securities from every other country except the fund's home country.) Global money managers may further concentrate on a particular style or sector or they may choose to allocate investment capital in the same weightings as world market capitalization weights. 5) Stable value investment style is a conservative fixed income investment strategy. A stable value investment manager seeks short-term fixed income securities and guaranteed investment contracts issued by insurance companies. These funds are attractive to investors who want high current income and protection from price volatility caused by movements in interest rates. Again, these are just a few of the possible strategies you can employ. Regardless, I want you to investigate some investment strategies and tell me your strategy by next week's class. You do not have to commit to the same strategy for the entire semester; however, if you want to change strategies you first must obtain my permission. The point of the project is to pick a strategy and prove it is the most profitable given the extremely limited amount of time we have for investing. So, next week, I want the following: 1) 2) 3) 4) Description of your portfolio strategy What you will initially purchase for your portfolio The approximate dollar amount of each security The initial allocation structure of your portfolio (i.e. percentage of risk-free assets vs. risky assets). If you have risky assets please also define what percentage are stocks vs. bonds vs. options). 5) Finally, I would like you to answer the following questions: a. How will you choose what to buy and sell each week? b. What are your thoughts on the changing economy and how will you adjust your strategy should there be a downturn in the market? c. How will you use diversification to eliminate nonsystematic risk? d. What considerations, if any, do you have for the industries/sectors of the securities you will be purchasing? The final document your turn in should be at least three pages long and typed. In addition, at the end of the semester you will have to turn in a 10 page report. The report is due Thursday, December 1st (only electronic copies will be accepted - must use MS Word). The report will be divided into 5 sections: 1) Economic Background - describe the major events that took place in the US and World during the time of your investing and how it affected the returns of your portfolio. 2) Portfolio construction and reasoning - how did your portfolio allocation and diversification change during the time you were investing. What drove those changes and how did they benefit or hurt your returns? 3) Trading Strategy - describe the initial strategy you chose and how it evolved over time. What worked, what didn't work? Be specific. 4) Portfolio performance data - I need you to collect the following each week for your portfolio a. Weights for each security b. Portfolio value change in dollars c. Weekly returns d. Weekly volatility (i.e. standard deviation of the portfolio) e. Sharpe ratios (showing your risk adjusted return) f. Tracking Error 5) Final Thoughts - if you had the entire project to do over again, given the returns you earned, what would you do differently? Again, be specific. Some things to keep in mind: The trading period will be a total of 10 weeks beginning on Tuesday, September 20th and ending November 28th. Some degree of diversification is required. You cannot put more than 25% of your portfolio into a single security. In addition, it is highly recommended that you construct your portfolio using different assets classes: stocks, bonds, & options. Finally, you will be given $100,000 as your initial amount with the option of being able to buy on margin. The maximum number of trades allowed for the project is 200, but you must make at least two trades per week
