By means of spreadsheet software and various online resources of information, this project sought to conduct and analyze a 90-day simulation of several trading strategies as compared to investing with passive mutual funds. The same twelve companies were traded through the use of four different trading strategies over the same 90-day period. The results indicate that it is quite difficult to outperform a primary stock index with active trading strategies. This project provided great insight into investing, as well as the stock market, and will prove to be valuable for investing in my future.
