Abstract: The article reviews the hypothesis of chaotic nature of the financial assets price dynamics. The said hypothesis was tested using the basic A. Lempel and J. Ziv algorithm of determination of the stochastic behavior of the process, calculation of the correlation dimensionality of the dynamic series, etc. Calculations were based on the data on the major Russian companies’ stock yield during the 2008 crisis.
