2 S-Plus Oil City Data Frame Monthly Excess Returns of Oil City Petroleum, Inc. Stocks and the Market SUMMARY: The oilcity data frame has 29 rows and 2 columns. The sample runs from April 979 to December 989. This data frame contains the following columns: VALUE: Oil monthly excess returns of Oil City Petroleum, Inc. stocks. Market monthly excess returns of the market. E Newton 2 This output was created using S-PLUS(R) Software. S-PLUS(R) is a registered trademark of Insightful Corporation.

3 Oil City Data (continued) Returns relative change in the stock price over a one month interval Excess returns are computed relative to the monthly return of a 90-day US Treasury bill at the risk-free rate Financial economists use least squares to fit a straight line predicting a particular stock return from the market return. Beta estimated coefficient of the market return. Measures the riskiness of the stock in terms of standard deviation and expected returns. Large beta -> stock is risky compared to market, but also expected returns from the stock are large. E Newton 3
