Note 1:Bloomberg only downloads data from trading days so excludes weekends. Ensure this is accounted for in your analysis.
Note 2: Assume that interest is not paid at weekends (This is a big assumption but limits the modelling complexity).
Note 3: Ensure there is data in each trading day for each company. If there is blank data delete the row/date for all companies in the portfolio.
Note 4: Assume that you purchase the stock at the closing price on 02/03/2015 (i.e 02/03/2015 becomes day 0).
