Research summary研究总结:Researchin experimentalpsychology has suggestedthat, in violation of Bayes'
rule, most people "overreact"to unexpected and dramatic news events. The
questionthen arises whether such behaviormatters at the marketlevel.
Consistent with the predictions of the overreactionhypothesis, portfolios of
prior"losers", are found to outperformprior "winners."Thirty-six months after
portfolio formation, the losing stocks have earned about 25% more than the
winners,even though the latter are significantly morerisky.
Several aspects of the results remain without adequate explanation; most
importantly,the largepositive excess returnsearnedby the loserportfolioevery
January.Much to our surprise,the effect is observedas late as five years after
portfolioformation.
