摘要:Financial theory has long postulated that
financial markets are efficient in the semi-strong form [1]. This hypothesis
suggests that market prices reflect all publicly held information. The result of
semi-strong efficiency is that an investor cannot earn returns in excess of
market returns without a greater risk. Furthermore, after adjusting for risk,
there is no systematic method to "beat the market." However, numerous studies
suggest that historical information does provide a guide for successful current
investing. This study proposes a simple trading rule that does seem to "beat the
market" and does so without increasing risk.
