Return Prediction and Stock Selection from Unidentified Historical Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
The experimental approach is applied to explore the value of unidentified historical information in stock-return prediction. Return sequences were randomly drawn cross section and time from historical S&P500 data. Subjects were requested to predict returns or select stocks from 12 preceding realizations. The hypothesis that predictions are randomly assigned to historical sequences is rejected in permutation tests and prediction-errors significantly decrease with expertise. The best-stock portfolios by experimental predictions significantly outperform worst-stock portfolios in joint examination of mean-return and volatility. Actual predictions are more effective than various statistical rules in separating the “best” stock from the “worst” in random 6-stock

Developing a multi objective possibilistic programming model for portfolio selection problem
Portfolio selection problem is one of the most important issues in the area of financial management in which is attempted to allocate wealth to different assets with controlling the return and risk. The aim of this paper is to obtain the optimum portfolio with regard to the cardinality and threshold constraints. In the paper, a novel multi-objective possibilistic programming model is developed ...
متن کاملOptimal Portfolio Allocation based on two Novel Risk Measures and Genetic Algorithm
The problem of optimal portfolio selection has attracted a great attention in the finance and optimization field. The future stock price should be predicted in an acceptable precision, and a suitable model and criterion for risk and the expected return of the stock portfolio should be proposed in order to solve the optimization problem. In this paper, two new criterions for the risk of stock pr...
متن کاملImproving Stock Return Forecasting by Deep Learning Algorithm
Improving return forecasting is very important for both investors and researchers in financial markets. In this study we try to aim this object by two new methods. First, instead of using traditional variable, gold prices have been used as predictor and compare the results with Goyal's variables. Second, unlike previous researches new machine learning algorithm called Deep learning (DP) has bee...
متن کاملNonlinear Model Improves Stock Return Out of Sample Forecasting (Case Study: United State Stock Market)
Improving out-of-sample forecasting is one of the main issues in financial research. Previous studies have achieved this objective by increasing the number of input variables or changing the kind of input variables. Changing the forecasting model is another possible approach to improve out-of-sample forecasting. Most researches have focused on linear models, while few have studied nonlinear mod...
متن کاملAn Examination of the Relationship between Values at Risk and Expected Stock Return in Tehran’s Stock Exchange
Abstract The main objective of this study was to examine the relationship between Value at Risk (VaR) and expected returns from 2002 to 2013 in Tehran’s Stock Exchange. In this study parametric value at risk, which considers the distribution of returns as normal and the historical value at risk as abnormal, was used to test the presence of the volatility anomaly in the companies listed i...
