Recommended Format ?Introduction
You need to explain the strategies you used and which if any of your portfolios beat the market. The target profit is a holding period return of at least 5 percent.

Literature Review
This section should provide theoretical and empirical evidence to demonstrate your understanding of EMH and Behavioural Finance and their conflicting view.

Rational and Methodology
How did you select the companies for your portfolios? You don't have to give a list of every company and why, it should be in general. The detail should be in the appendix. You need to make reference to the technical theories you have used and justify your approach, this should be done by making direct references to the journal articles read.

Results and Analysis
Critically evaluate the performance of your two portfolios. Did they beat the market? Which was the best? Your results should be referenced back to the literature review you have read on the type of analysis you have used and on the EMH.

Conclusion
Provide an informed conclusion to your report.

Presentation: Structure, clarity, use of grammar, correct spelling, referencing.

Appendix
Spreadsheet of all of your trades, with notes on why you chose your companies. The spreadsheet needs to have profit and loss for each of your shares and should say your final profit. The spreadsheet needs to take account for trading costs, see below for details.

Transaction costs
When you purchase shares you must also pay Stamp Duty of 0.2% of the purchase price. There is no Stamp Duty payable when you sell your shares.

You should also assume that you buy your shares online through an internet broker. Assume that the broker charges you a flat fee of SGD10.00 per trade, i.e. SGD10.00 when you buy and SGD10.00 when you sell.

You can buy and sell in any amount you like. You do not have to buy in round amounts. For example, you could buy 798 shares or any other number you like.

Sources of Data
Obtain share prices and news from financial information sources like the SP Capital IQ Database, yahoo and Bloomberg (I will provide you with my capitaliq.com account details because you must use it).

As far as the concern of outperforming the market is concerned, this paragraph clearly mentions the result of the trading sessions. So, just ask for the clarification whether need to add the same statement of outperformance of market in this. Please, tell expert to look at the attached assignment (that is the first set of the assignment), the 2nd set needs to look like this too. 24641381_1Share Trading Assignment - Set 2.docx Thank you for the quick delivery! The owner of the assignment is already reading through, so I will let you know if any correction is needed. Alright, thank you. Thank you.

Thank you for your quick response. I will be making payment hopefully by the end of the day. But you have to give me your word that you'll do the job correctly. I will place order for another assignment if you do a good job. I replied to your earlier message (the one before the last one you sent). I am working on paying, just that the fund I want to use for the payment has not reflected on my bank account. Once the fund reflects on my account, U will make the payment here. Hello. I received your message. Like I mentioned in an earlier message, I am yet to receive the fund I am supposed to use to make the payment for this assignment (guess the delay is due to the fact that we were on weekends). Now that the weekends are over I guess I should receive the fund today. I will make the payment immediately the moment I receive the fund. I have another assignment too, which I will send to you shortly to receiving a quote. Thank you.
