Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 26PS

The data above gives the bullish sign and the bearish sign.

Explanation of Solution

Given Information:

The data is available in the given website.

We can see the relative strength depicted in second part of requirement as bullish sign. Here the FB fund is likely to underperform the S&P 500 index than to perform better than the index according to this signal.

We can see the relative strength depicted in third part of requirement as bearish sign. Here the FB fund did not give a better performance than the index but there is no statistical difference succeeding the considerable change in the relative strength. There is random successive performance.

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 26PS

The data above gives the bullish sign and the bearish sign.

Explanation of Solution

Given Information:

The data is available in the given website.

We can see the relative strength depicted in second part of requirement as bullish sign. Here the FB fund is likely to underperform the S&P 500 index than to perform better than the index according to this signal.

We can see the relative strength depicted in third part of requirement as bearish sign. Here the FB fund did not give a better performance than the index but there is no statistical difference succeeding the considerable change in the relative strength. There is random successive performance.

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 26PS

The data above gives the bullish sign and the bearish sign.

Explanation of Solution

Given Information:

The data is available in the given website.

We can see the relative strength depicted in second part of requirement as bullish sign. Here the FB fund is likely to underperform the S&P 500 index than to perform better than the index according to this signal.

We can see the relative strength depicted in third part of requirement as bearish sign. Here the FB fund did not give a better performance than the index but there is no statistical difference succeeding the considerable change in the relative strength. There is random successive performance.
