The chaos theory makes an important contribution to the modeling of economic processes, because the wealth of behaviors of the systems it describes gives the potential possibility of eliminating the inconsistencies between theory and practice.

Despite many debatable aspects related to the use of deterministic chaos theory algorithms in the process of analyzing joint stock companies on the Warsaw Stock Exchange, their use is fully justified. The aim of the publication is to present the possibility of using measures resulting from the theory of deterministic chaos to assess the attractiveness of investing in specific shares in terms of the economic conditio of a given company on the Warsaw Stock Exchange.
