This project presents a comprehensive analysis of daily stock price data for Chevron (CVX) and IBM from October 10, 2001, to December 30, 2010. Utilizing minute-by-minute pricing data, the study identifies price adjustments due to stock splits and analyzes returns while addressing data errors and outliers. Key measures include annualized realized variance, bipower variance, and volatility signatures. The project also explores the impact of significant market events, such as the 2008 financial crisis, on stock prices. This initial exploration serves as a foundation for further research and analysis using MATLAB.
