Q1 Import Tesla stock prices, instead of Apple.
Hint: Insert a new code chunk below and type in the code, using the tq_get() function above. Replace the ticker symbol. Find ticker symbols from Yahoo Finance.

Hint: Watch the video, “Basic Data Types”, in DataCamp: Introduction to R for Finance: Ch1 The Basics. Character data are things with words/letters while logical is true/false data.
Q4 Plot the closing price in a line chart.
Hint: Insert a new code chunk below and type in the code, using the ggplot() function above. Revise the code so that it maps close to the y-axis, instead of adjusted.
For more information on the ggplot() function, refer to Ch2 Introduction to ggplot2 in one of our e-textbooks, Data Visualization with R.
Q5 From the chart you created in Q4, briefly describe how the Tesla stock has performed since the beginning of 2019.
Compared to the previous two years, Tesla stock has gone down a lot. It looks like it is on its way back up again, but is still no where near where it was in 2017 and 2018.
Q6 Import two stocks: Tesla and Netflix for the same time period.
Hint: Insert a new code chunk below and type in the code, using the tq_get() function above. You may refer to the manual of the tidyquant r package. Or, simply Google the tq_get function and see examples of the function’s usage.
