It would be wise to add additional test cases.
It would be helpful to provide an example in the problem statement.
The problem statement should not commence with a space.

The less correlated stocks are the ones closest to zero and not to minus one (a correlation of 1 or -1 is still a strong correlation). Please, fix the problem description, what the problem actually wants are stocks that are closest to being inversely correlated.
