You may obtain the stock and currency information from Bloomberg in real time and present a spreadsheet tracking your domestic and foreign portfolio values in dollar and local currency terms every day of the holding period. Present a clear and informative spreadsheet of the daily evolution of your portfolios along with written explanations of what happened in each market and why.

 

  1. Follow your US dollar portfolio for five working days and record daily changes in value along with your explanations of what factors are moving the market. Pay particular attention to the financial press and other relevant news.
