Question - You have been following the stock price of Lee Inc., for the past 16 consecutive days in an attempt to determine whether you can outperform the buy and hold strategy by employing a filter rule. The simple filter rule states that your buy or sell decision is dictated by the level of the filter. If the price of the stock increases by at least the level of the filter, you will buy and hold the stock until it reaches a peak and then drops at least by the level of the filter. In this exercise, you will refrain from short selling. As a result, when the stock price drops from the peak by the level of the filter, you will liquidate the position and hold on to cash until the next buying opportunity arises.
