174 We downloaded stock prices from [Link] for Apple using its ticker symbol,
175 AAPL. We also downloaded data for the S&P 500 (^GSPC) which contains most actively traded
176 stocks, and the Vanguard Mid-Cap Value Index Fund Investor Shares mutual fund (VMVIX). We
computed returns, as shown in Chapter 6. We also obtained the monthly rates on 3-month
177 Treasury bills from the FRED II data base at the St. Louis Federal Reserve,
