Dick Smith Holdings (DSH) went into voluntary administration in January 2016.

In the second half of 2015, many shareholders began to lose confidence in the business and there was a steady sell-off of shares, sometimes with considerable volumes of sales and reduction in share price as large investors sold major holdings.

• Research and analyse the share price history of DSH from its launch to the date of administration;
• Estimate and interpret the (beta) for DSH using data from its launch on the ASX in 2013 to June 30 2015.
• Discuss whether there were any warning signs emerging from the company’s published statements and data about impending cash flow problems.
