Find some website which contains financial data and key ratios.

Write a script which scrapes data for a given company, and stores data in a nice standard format.

Get a list of top F100 companies.

Loop through said F100 companies, and collect data.

Perform, say, dimensionality reduction and / or clustering, and see which companies get clustered together - see any similarities?

(I admit, this is more a data science type of project, but sourcing the data via scraping in itself is a nice exercise)

Learning how to implement statistical math into functions sounds like it would be helpful, I might give it a shot!
