The Value Line Investment Survey is one of the oldest, continuously running investment advisory publications. Since 1955, the Survey has been published in multiple formats including print, loose-leaf, microfilm and microfiche. Data from 1997 to present is now available online. The Survey tracks 1700 stocks across 92 industry groups. It provides reported and projected measures of firm performance, proprietary rankings and analysis for each stock on a quarterly basis. DATA AVAILABLE FOR YEARS: 1980-1989 This dataset, a subset of the Survey covering the years 1980-1989 has been digitized from the microfiche collection available at the Dewey Library (FICHE HG 4501.V26). It is only available to MIT students and faculty for academic research. Published weekly, each edition of the Survey has the following three parts: Summary & Index: includes an alphabetical listing of all industries with their relative ranking and the page number for detailed industry analysis. It also includes an alphabetical listing of all stocks in the publication with references to their location in Part 3, Ratings & Reports. Selection & Opinion: contains the latest economic and stock market commentary and advice along with one or more pages of research on interesting stocks or industries, and a variety of pertinent economic and stock market statistics. It also includes three model stock portfolios. Ratings & Reports: This is the core of the Value Line Investment Survey. Preceded by an industry report, each one-page stock report within that industry includes Timeliness, Safety and Technical rankings, 3-to 5-year analyst forecasts for stock prices, income and balance sheet items, up to 17 years of historical data, and Value Line analysts’ commentaries. The report also contains stock price charts, quarterly sales, earnings, and dividend information. Publication Schedule: Each edition of the Survey covers around 130 stocks in seven to eight industries on a preset sequential schedule so that all 1700 stocks are analyzed once every 13 weeks or each quarter. All editions are numbered 1-13 within each quarter. For example, in 1980, reports for Chrysler appear in edition 1 of each quarter on the following dates: January 4, 1980 – page 132 April 4, 1980 – page 133 July 4, 1980 – page 133 October 1, 1980 – page 133 Reports for Coca-Cola were published in edition 10 of each quarter on: March 7, 1980 – page 1514 June 6, 1980 – page 1518 Sept. 5, 1980 – page 1517 Dec. 5, 1980 – page 1548 Any significant news affecting a stock between quarters is covered in the supplementary reports that appear at the end of part 3, Ratings & Reports. File format: Digitized files within this dataset are in PDF format and are arranged by publication date within each compressed annual folder. How to Consult the Value Line Investment Survey: To find reports on a particular stock, consult the alphabetical listing of stocks in the Summary & Index part of the relevant weekly edition. Look for the page number just to the left of the company name and then use the table below to identify the edition where that page number appears. All editions within a given quarter are numbered 1-13 and follow equally sized page ranges for stock reports. The table provides page ranges for stock reports within editions 1-13 of 1980 Q1. It can be used to identify edition and page numbers for any quarter within a given year. Ratings & Reports Edition Pub. Date Pages 1 04-Jan-80 100-242 2 11-Jan-80 250-392 3 18-Jan-80 400-542 4 25-Jan-80 550-692 5 01-Feb-80 700-842 6 08-Feb-80 850-992 7 15-Feb-80 1000-1142 8 22-Feb-80 1150-1292 9 29-Feb-80 1300-1442 10 07-Mar-80 1450-1592 11 14-Mar-80 1600-1742 12 21-Mar-80 1750-1908 13 28-Mar-80 2000-2142 Another way to navigate to the Ratings & Reports part of an edition would be to look around page 50 within the PDF document.

Context

The algorithmic trading space is buzzing with new strategies. Companies have spent billions in infrastructures and R&D to be able to jump ahead of the competition and beat the market. Still, it is well acknowledged that the buy & hold strategy is able to outperform many of the algorithmic strategies, especially in the long-run. However, finding value in stocks is an art that very few mastered, can a computer do that?

Content

This Data repo contains two datasets:

1. Example_2019_price_var.csv. I built this dataset thanks to Financial Modeling Prep API and to pandas_datareader. Each row is a stock from the technology sector of the US stock market (that is available from the aforementioned API, which is free and highly recommended). The column contains the percent price variation of each stock for the year 2019. In other words, it collects the percent price variation of each stock from the first trading day on Jan 2019 to the last trading day of Dec 2019. To compute this price variation I decided to consider the Adjusted Close Price.

2. Example_DATASET.csv. I built this dataset thanks to Financial Modeling Prep API. Each row is a stock from the technology sector of the US stock market (that is available from the aforementioned API). Each column is a financial indicator that can be found in the 2018 10-K filings of each company. There are no Nans or empty cells. Furthermore, the last column is the CLASS of each stock, where:

   1. class = 1 if the price of the stock increases during 2019
   2. class = 0 if the price of the stock decreases during 2019

In other words, the last column is used to classify each stock in buy-worthy or not, and this relationship is what should allow a machine learning model to learn to recognize stocks that will increase their value from those that won't.

NOTE: the number of stocks does not match between the two datasets because the API did not have all the required financial indicators for some stocks. It is possible to remove from Example_2019_price_var.csv those rows that do not appear in Example_DATASET.csv.

Inspiration

I built this dataset during the 2019 winter holidays period, because I wanted to answer a simple question: is it possible to have a machine learning model learn the differences between stocks that perform well and those that don't, and then leverage this knowledge in order to predict which stock will be worth buying? Moreover, is it possible to achieve this simply by looking at financial indicators found in the 10-K filings?
