Answer to Problem 24PS

As per the data, 16 times the relative strength increases more than 5%.

Explanation of Solution

Given Information:

The data is available in the given website.

Of the 255 total instances, there are 16 times when the relative strength increases by greater than 5% over the interval of 5 weeks.

Here, it is seen that 10 times the FSRBX underperformed the S&P 500 following the increase of more than 5%.

There are 6 times that FSRBX outperformed S&P 500 following the increase of more than 5%.

Answer to Problem 24PS

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.
