bookChallenge: Calculate Daily Returns

Understanding how a stock's price changes from one day to the next is crucial for anyone working in finance. One of the most common ways to measure these changes is by calculating daily returns. A daily return tells you the percentage change in a stock's price compared to the previous day's closing price. This measure helps you assess how volatile a stock is, compare performance across different assets, and even build more advanced financial models. By expressing returns as percentages, you can easily compare stocks with different price levels, making it a fundamental metric for both analysis and reporting in the world of finance.
