Notes

†An increasing number of papers have discussed the profitability of the use of technical trading rules and price momentum strategies (e.g. Bokhari et al. 2005).

†In a survey, the authors find evidence of ‘parking the process’ behaviour by individual investors. Only in 17% of cases was the process of a selling operation reinvested on the same day and only in 22% of cases was it reinvested within the same week.
