““The name of the game, moving money from your clients pocket to your pocket”, Mark stated. “But if you can make your clients money at the same time it’s advantageous to everyone, correct?” “No, Mark replied…Okay, first rule of Wall Street-nobody and I don’t care if you are Warren Buffet or Jimmy Buffet- knows if a stock is going up, down or sideways, least of all stock brokers.

ADAM BAIN AND THE PRICE MOMENTUM STRATEGY In February 1995, Adam Bain, investment advisor in the London, Ontario branch of RBC Dominion Securities Inc. (RBC DS), was considering whether or not to implement a price momentum strategy for his clients. Trend and Cycle, DS’s technical research department, had recently circulated a

achieve the equivalent purpose of the former. A construction union today, whose basket of specialized materials includes environmentally harmful products, faces the same risk of obsoleteness. It follows that the ratification of an environmental regulation outlawing a certain product, or litigation outcome rendering the handling of a construction material as detrimental to human health, can extinguish an entire construction union. High taxation Members who either already dedicated their careers or were soon-to-be eligible beneficiaries would find themselves deprived of the income that they were promised in retirement. While retraining programs and federal pension guaranty programs could mitigate the magnitude of these risks, this paper advocates for a more proactive solution. Active investing in

Earnings Process and Efficient Markets The premise of an efficient market is that stock prices adjust accordingly as information is received. The speed and accuracy of the pricing changes are a reflection of the strength of the market efficiency, where in theory a perfectly efficient market will re-adjust prices immediately and

2. Analyze these portfolios. By analyzing monthly returns of all 10 portfolios from 1927-2012 and 2000-2012, we can see that there is a general pattern that stocks with higher momentum have higher return, which confirms the momentum strategy. The average return of stocks with high minus low momentum is a little lower than that

Introduction In traditional financial theories, the most important assumption is the efficient market. However, numerous evidences show investors’ behaviour does not exactly match with the technical analysis from these models, and their emotion is the important factor resulting in the bias (Baker and Nofsinger 2002). Of which, the weather is one of the significant variables that affect the investors’ mood (Loughran and Schultz 2004). In this essay, I will discuss the issue whether the weather affects the stock market by providing various literatures evidences and my personal opinion. Whether the findings in the literatures violate the efficient market hypothesis is also examined.

The authors jointly examine momentum and value in eight different markets and asset classes. Asness, Moskowitz and Pederson found two main phenomena associated with returns across 8 various markets and asset classes in their research. These findings challenge previous, well-established theories, like the existence of significant premia in value and momentum return strategies across asset classes and global markets. This innovative research includes some new asset classes not previously used, such as government bonds, currencies, and commodities. The authors look to prove the

Now I will discuss the results of some past paper on four factor model of CAPM. The four factor model represents an asset pricing model developed by Carhart (1997) owing to the fact that the three factor model of Fama-French (1993, 1996) could not explain the momentum effect presented by

During this time period, prices for the stocks increase substantially, accordingly reducing risk premium demanded by the traders. Also, shares should amount from 30 to 55 percent of the entire investment portfolio to optimize the investor’s expected profitability. Proximity of the evaluated results to the reality reveals excellence of the myopic loss aversion model (Siegel and Thaler, 1997).

I. Introduction Background Ever since Ross (1976) proposed the Arbitrage Pricing Theory (APT) as an alternative to the capital pricing model, many economists and investors have applied APT across different markets. Whereas the traditional capital pricing model explained asset returns with one beta, sensitivity to the market return, APT decomposes the return with a multiple number of factors. This idea became particularly popular for investors who aim to gain systematic risk other than market risk. However, the model specification aspect has been challenging to many practitioners as the theory does not require any specific sets of variables to be used (Azeez 2006).

Risk Associated With Exchange-Traded Derivatives Among the most fundamental risks, associated with exchange-traded derivatives, is variable degree of risk. According to Ernst, Koziol, & Schweizer (2011), the transactions in

If a capital market fully and accurately reflects all relevant information when determining the price of the securities, the market is effective and the three characteristics of the effective capital market are efficient operation, efficient price, and efficient distribution(Sascha Kurth,2013). There are three forms of efficiency market, this article will analyze the characteristics of semi-strong effective market and the impact of the abnormal Book-Market-value effect on the effective market hypothesis so that investors should be dialectical view of the market hypothesis and the emergence of abnormal to make the stable investment activities.
