Over-confident
Delayed reaction
Price continue
Momentum strategy
Under-confident
Over-reaction
Price reverse
Momentum strategy
Contrarian strategy•Over-reaction Hypothesis
▫De Bondt and Thaler (1985)▫investors tend to overreact to new
information. Such overreaction will be corrected in subsequent periods
▫They rank firms on the basis of prior 3-year returns and find that prior winners tend to underperform the market, while prior losers tend to outperform the market
•Buy the prior losers and sell the prior winners will generate excess return
Momentum strategy
•Jegadeesh and Titman (1993, 1995, 1997, 2001)
•Buy the prior winners and sell the prior losers will generate excess return
The reconciliation of the momentum and contrarian strategies•Daniel, Hisrhleifer and Subrahmanyam
(1998)•Conrad and Kaul (1998)•Hong and Stein (1999)•Bhojraj and Swaminathan (2006)
Introduce my series studies about momentum strategies•international market vs. momentum•length of time horizons vs. momentum•Relative strength vs. momentum•Market state vs. momentum•Herd behavior vs. momentum
International market vs. Momentum strategy
• Liu, Yu-lun, Kuei-yuan Wang, Su-Chun Peng and Yen-Sheng Huang (Sep. 2008), “The performance of the contrarian strategy and the momentum strategy in the Asia pacific region”, International Journal of Finance, vol. 20 (3), pp.4863-4883. (FLI) ( 國科會 B+ 級期刊 )
•Bhojraj and Swaminathan (2006)▫They examine the return predictability in
international equity indices. ▫They argue that stock prices initially
underreact to information. Then stock prices rise toward their fundamental value and result in a pattern of price momentum.
▫As stock prices continue to rise above their fundamental value, subsequent price reversals will occur.

Market state vs. momentumWang, Kuei-yuan, Ching-Hai Jiang and Yen-Sheng Huang
(Jan 2009), “Market states and the profitability of momentum strategies: Evidence from the Taiwan Stock Exchange,” The International Journal of Business and Finance Research, vol. 3 (1), pp.89-102.
•Cooper, Gutierrez and Hameed (2004) ▫They test the overconfidence theory by
examining the impact of the state of the market on momentum profits.
▫They hypothesize that traders’ overconfidence should be greater following the up markets. If investors holding equity position attribute market gains to their timing skill, their overconfidence will be stronger following the up markets which will result in greater momentum profits in the short run.
