Risky Stocks                                                                        Solutions

You need to create a decision service that decides whether to buy certain stocks or not. Here are examples of the guiding rules:

  • Rule 1: Stock in debt is considered risky.
  • Rule 2: Stocks in fusion with other stocks may be risky.
  • Rule 3: Stock in fusion with a strong stock is not risky.
  • Rule 4: Do not buy risky stocks unless they have a good price.

Here are examples of a few stocks with the expected recommendations:

Keep in mind that in practice these rules can be modified, e.g. Rule 3 can be reformulated as “Stock not in debt and in fusion with a strong stock is not risky.” More rules that could conflict with some of the above rules can be added later. For example, we may add rules about stocks involved in Scalp and/or Swing trading. How easy or difficult would it be to modify your decision service?
