Use the given code below to answer the questions.

## Load package
library(tidyverse) # for cleaning, plotting, etc
library(tidyquant) # for financial analysis

## Import data
stocks <- tq_get("AAPL", get = "stock.prices", from = "2016-01-01")
stocks

## Visualize
stocks %>%
  ggplot(aes(x = date, y = adjusted)) +
  geom_line()

Q1 Import Netflix 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.

## Load package
library(tidyverse) # for cleaning, plotting, etc
library(tidyquant) # for financial analysis

## Import data
stocks <- tq_get("NFLX", get = "stock.prices", from = "2017-01-13")
stocks

Q2 How many shares of the stock were traded on January 13, 2017?

10,515,000

Q3 Stock prices in this data would be a good example of numeric data. Character and logical are two other basic data types in R. List one example of character data and one example of logical data.

Hint: Watch the video, “Basic Data Types”, in DataCamp: Introduction to R for Finance: Ch1 The Basics.

Character: >“Hello World”

Logical: >TRUE

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.

## Visualize
stocks %>%
  ggplot(aes(x = date, y = close)) +
  geom_line()

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 Netflix stock has performed since the beginning of 2019.

The Netflix stock was gradually going up until the end of 2019 when it dipped back down briefly. The dip is probably caused by other show companies performing well such as Hulu, Amazon, etc.

Q6 Import two stocks: Netflix and Amazon 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.

Q7 Hide the messages and the results of the code, but display the code on the webpage.

Hint: Use message, echo and results in the chunk options. Refer to the RMarkdown Reference Guide.

Q8 Make an exception to the code chunk in Q6 by displaying both the code and its results.

Hint: Use echo and results in the chunk option. Note that this question only applies to the individual code chunk of Q6.

Q9 Display the title and your name correctly at the top of the webpage.

Q10 Use the correct slug.
