Overview

This dataset contains historical daily prices for all tickers currently trading on NASDAQ. The up to date list is available from nasdaqtrader.com. The historic data is retrieved from Yahoo finance via yfinance python package.

It contains prices for up to 01 of April 2020. If you need more up to date data, just fork and re-run data collection script also available from Kaggle.

Data Structure

The date for every symbol is saved in CSV format with common fields:

• Date - specifies trading date
• Open - opening price
• High - maximum price during the day
• Low - minimum price during the day
• Close - close price adjusted for splits
• Adj Close - adjusted close price adjusted for both dividends and splits.
• Volume - the number of shares that changed hands during a given day

All that ticker data is then stored in either ETFs or stocks folder, depending on a type. Moreover, each filename is the corresponding ticker symbol. At last, symbols_valid_meta.csv contains some additional metadata for each ticker such as full name.

Actually, I prepare this dataset for students on my Deep Learning and NLP course.

But I am also very happy to see kagglers play around with it.

Have fun!

Description:

There are two channels of data provided in this dataset:

News data: I crawled historical news headlines from Reddit WorldNews Channel (/r/worldnews). They are ranked by reddit users' votes, and only the top 25 headlines are considered for a single date. (Range: 2008-06-08 to 2016-07-01)

Stock data: Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) is used to "prove the concept". (Range: 2008-08-08 to 2016-07-01)

I provided three data files in .csv format:

RedditNews.csv: two columns The first column is the "date", and second column is the "news headlines". All news are ranked from top to bottom based on how hot they are. Hence, there are 25 lines for each date.

DJIA_table.csv: Downloaded directly from Yahoo Finance: check out the web page for more info.

Combined_News_DJIA.csv: To make things easier for my students, I provide this combined dataset with 27 columns. The first column is "Date", the second is "Label", and the following ones are news headlines ranging from "Top1" to "Top25".

Context

In this dataset you can find the Top 100 companies in the technology sector. You can also find 5 of the most important and used indices in the financial market as well as a list of all the companies in the S&P 500 index and in the technology sector.

The Global Industry Classification Standard also known as GICS is the primary financial industry standard for defining sector classifications. The Global Industry Classification Standard was developed by index providers MSCI and Standard and Poor’s. Its hierarchy begins with 11 sectors which can be further delineated to 24 industry groups, 69 industries, and 158 sub-industries.

You can read the definition of each sector here.

The 11 broad GICS sectors commonly used for sector breakdown reporting include the following: Energy, Materials, Industrials, Consumer Discretionary, Consumer Staples, Health Care, Financials, Information Technology, Telecommunication Services, Utilities and Real Estate.

In this case we will focuse in the Technology Sector. You can see all the sectors and industry groups here.

To determine which companies, correspond to the technology sector, we use Yahoo Finance, where we rank the companies according to their “Market Cap”. After having the list of the Top 100 best valued companies in the sector, we proceeded to download the historical data of each of the companies using the NASDAQ website.

Regarding to the indices, we searched various sources to find out which were the most used and determined that the 5 most frequently used indices are: Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI), S&P 500 (SPX), NASDAQ Composite (IXIC), Wilshire 5000 Total Market Inde (W5000) and to specifically view the technology sector SPDR Select Sector Fund - Technology (XLK). Historical data for these indices was also obtained from the NASDQ website.
