Regression & Predictive Modeling:

I'm not an expert on applying regression or modeling to the markets. That's why I am applying to your graduate programs or firm's entry roles: to learn from those who are.

I did a personal study on the S&P500's monthly closing price using JMP. I was mostly curious which among the many indicators are most significantly influential on the Index's value. I also wanted to test my knowledge and skills to practical application.  

I hope this rudimentary study demonstrates my passion for the markets, my baseline competence upon which you can build your mentorship, and my resolve to learn when I am not yet good enough at something.
