Enhancing Stock Investment Returns with Learning Aggressiveness and Trust Metrics
Figure 3 . Simulation results .
The best performer achieved 1277.43 %, which is 1.74 times higher than the S & P 500 benchmark . In the same period , the top 10 % best performer had an average return of 682.35 %, which is only slightly better than the benchmark of BAC . The main reason behind the result is that S & P 500 is a weighted index across all industries . If one industry has a crisis and it suffers a tremendous downturn , then the upward trend in other industries can compensate for the downturn , at least to some extent . As a result , the change in the index is not as dramatic as it can be in an individual stock . That is why the index created several historical highs recently . However , there is a different story with BAC . Since the root of the last financial crisis was in the banking industry , BAC is still around 60 % below its historic high , which was $ 54.87 per share recorded on 30 September , 2006 . Table 3 shows the summary of the results .
