Please help me identify Argentinian, Brazilian, Mexican, South Korean,
Indonesian, and Taiwanese stocks corresponding to each of the
following 12 industries: Consumer Durables, Consumer Non-Durables,
Manufacturing, Energy, Chemical, Business Equipment, Telephone and
Television, Utilities, Shops, Health, Finance, and all remaining.
I have obtained the list of industries from
http://mba.tuck.dartmouth.edu/pages/faculty/ken.french/Data_Library/det_12_ind_port.html
I chose the countries above because Yahoo Finance covers their exchanges
http://finance.yahoo.com/exchanges
In other words, the answer should consist of 6*12 = 72 company names,
and corresponding tickers. The answer should include a justification
for why you assigned a particular company to a given industry.
Each company's historical (daily or weekly) (1991-2005) price data
should be available on http://finance.yahoo.com (or a similar free
service).
Each company should be one of the major players in the particular
industry (in the particular country).
Example: If the question above were asking to name 12 U.S. companies
corresponding to those 12 industries, then a sample answer would be:
"Industry Company Symbol
Consumer Nondurables Pepsico PEP
Consumer Durables General Motors GM
Manufacturing Goodyear Tire & Rubber GT
Energy Exxon Mobil XOM
Chemicals Dow Chemical DOW
Business Equipment Xerox XRX
Telecommunications Sprint FON
Utilities Duke Energy DUK
Shops Target TGT
Healthcare Pfizer PFE
Finance Bank of America BAC
Other Hilton Hotels HLN
