Real Project Case Studies

1

March 2020 Market Crash Analysis

We reconstructed the entire timeline of the March 2020 market crash, examining how different asset classes behaved during the 35-day period when the S&P 500 dropped 34%. Students analyze real portfolio responses, studying which hedging strategies worked and why traditional correlation models failed during peak volatility.
Key Learning: Diversification strategies that seemed robust in calm markets proved insufficient during extreme volatility events, highlighting the importance of tail-risk hedging.
2

Energy Sector Volatility During 2022

Through detailed analysis of energy stock movements during the geopolitical events of 2022, students learn how external shocks ripple through markets. We examine actual trading volumes, options flows, and institutional positioning changes during this period of unprecedented commodity price swings.
Key Learning: Sector rotation during volatile periods follows predictable patterns, but timing these moves requires understanding both technical indicators and macroeconomic fundamentals.
3

Tech Stock Valuations in Rising Rate Environment

Students dissect how growth stocks, particularly in technology, responded to changing interest rate expectations throughout 2022-2024. We analyze earnings multiples, cash flow valuations, and investor sentiment shifts using real company data and market responses.
Key Learning: Duration risk in equity valuations becomes critical during monetary policy transitions, requiring adjusted valuation frameworks for different market environments.
