We will perform a graphical comparison of the closing values for AAPL
and MSFT
. Using the closing prices DataFrame
, it is simple to plot the values for a specific stock using the .plot()
method of Series
. The following plots the adjusted closing price for AAPL
:
In [9]: # plot the closing prices of AAPL close_px['AAPL'].plot();
The following code plots the adjusted closing price for MSFT
:
In [10]: # plot the closing prices of MSFT close_px['MSFT'].plot();
Both sets of closing values can easily be displayed on a single chart in order to give a side-by-side comparison:
In [11]: # plot MSFT vs AAPL on the same chart close_px[['MSFT', 'AAPL']].plot();
The output is seen in the following screenshot:
