 Find your own set of events and perform a similar analysis: [For example, Toronto’s Major Rob Ford vs. Ford Motor Company’s Stock; Sports news about the hiring/firing of GM (General Manager) and GM’s Stock; use your own creativity to identify a set of possible events and investigate!]

 Based on your findings, do you agree with Dan Mirvish that algorithms affect stock prices or stock volume based on “internet chatter”? Briefly explain your reasoning.

 Provide a PowerPoint presentation outlining your findings. You should be able to explain your approach and your findings in 5-7 minutes.
