For example, consider a 4-month rolling average of stock prices*.

After 4 months of a year have passed (on May 1st), the current rolling average uses stock prices from months 1,2,3, and 4 (Jan/Feb/Mar/Apr).

After 5 months have passed (on Jun 1 st), the current rolling average uses stock prices from months 2,3,4,5 (Feb/Mar/Apr/May) Instructions

Step 1: Find a stock symbol whose first letter is the same as the first letter of your last name.

Step 2: Select a day of the month. Usually this is the last day of the month, but you can use the 1st day or any other day of the month, as long as you are consistent (i.e., that you use the same day for every month.)

Step 3: Find your stock price for the same day you chose in each month.

Step 4: Compute the 4-month rolling averages for three or more different intervals (For example: Jan-Apr, Feb-May, and Mar-Jun)
