The document summarizes research on whether seasonal shifts in investor mood help explain recurring cross-sectional patterns in stock returns. It treats January, March, and Fridays as relatively optimistic periods, and September, October, and Mondays as…
This post describes a Chinese equity screen that combines a turnover-rate band, a beverage and alcohol industry filter, and positive fund-holding changes. Its proposed final logic also asks for a rising 30-day moving average. Formula and Python examples…
This stock-selection recipe screens for companies in a designated metaverse category, a positive daily price change, and a rising 30-day moving average. Its final stated condition also requires a price-to-earnings ratio below 30. The article expresses the…
This introductory multi-factor stock selection method combines one profitability measure, return on invested capital, with two valuation measures, price-to-sales and price-to-book. The stated goal is to rank stocks by factors associated with returns and…
