July 2009
Recherches en Sciences de Gestion 73:57-71

Authors:

The inefficiency of the stock markets is often bound to the stake in evidence of anomalies noticed in the behavior of returns by several authors. These anomalies are revealing of inefficiency if their knowledge permits to make a profit ex-ante of strategies based on them. De Bondt and Thaler [1985] disclosed one stock course overreaction: assets having recorded bad performances in the past in stock market would know performances subsequently superior to the average and vice-versa for assets having recorded excellent performances. This article aims at presenting the overreaction strategy adopted by most managers in Tunisia and to put in evidence a new strategy which turned out to be the best one.

Common Factors in Stock Market Seasonalities

February 2013 · SSRN Electronic Journal

Well-diversified portfolios of stocks formed by either characteristics or factor loadings have relatively high or low returns every year in the same calendar month. These common seasonalities account for at least 80% of the seasonalities in individual stock returns. The source of seasonalities matters: a trading strategy that tries to profit from seasonalities in individual stock returns is ... [Show full abstract] necessarily exposed to common return factors. We develop a model in which seemingly firm-specific seasonalities emerge from stocks amplifying and aggregating small seasonalities in common factors. We demonstrate that this mechanism is a pervasive feature of asset returns at monthly and daily frequencies.

Performance of Pairs Trading Strategy in the U.S. REIT Market

August 2010 · Real Estate Economics

We examine the performance of pairs trading in the U.S. REIT market compared with that in the U.S. general stock market over the period 1987 to 2008. The results suggest that the REIT market provided superior profit opportunities for this strategy over common stocks after accounting for the effect of the bid‐ask bounce between 1993 and 2000. This was likely because of the unique characteristics ... [Show full abstract] of REITs, which permitted the selection of good pairs of close substitutes and the structural changes that occurred in 1993 in the REIT market. The superior trading profits in REITs disappear after 2000.

When are Contrarian Profits Due to Stock Market Overreaction (Reprint 001)

January 1970

If returns on some stocks systematically lead or lag those of others, a portfolio strat-egy that sells "winners" and buys "losers" can produce positive expected returns, even if no stock's returns are negatively autocorrelated as virtually all models of overre-action imply. Using a particular contrarian strategy, we reconcile the strong positive autocorrelation of weekly portfolio returns with ... [Show full abstract] the weak negative autocorrelation for individual stock returns. We show that the returns of large stocks lead those of smaller stocks, and present evidence against overreaction as the only source of contrarian prof-its.

Interpolative Boolean Approach for Fuzzy Portfolio Selection

January 2019

In this chapter, we present a fuzzy approach to portfolio selection based on interpolative Boolean algebra. Interpolative Boolean algebra is a real-valued generalization of Boolean algebra. After an extensive overview of the theoretical framework, we present two interpolative Boolean-based methods: logical clustering and logical DuPont. Both methods are extended to address portfolio selection ... [Show full abstract] problems. Logical clustering method for portfolio selection employs interpolative Boolean algebra dissimilarity within a hierarchical clustering algorithm to group companies according to investment ratios. Further, this method uses expert logic-based rules for investment decision making. Logical DuPont method for portfolio selection is applied to give insight into the structure of companyís earnings and further identify profit drivers to recommend investment actions. The presented methods are validated on S&P 500 stock market data. Logical clustering and logical DuPont methods have proven to be valuable fuzzy tools for an automated stock selection.
