Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The goal of this research project was to evaluate whether there is statistically significant evidence of the Winner / Loser Phenomenon identified in DeBondt and Thaler (1985) using a unique data set and multiple examination windows. This study finds statistically significant evidence of short-run negative autocorrelation of returns. More importantly, if investors used a daily rebalance over this time period and invested simultaneously in the previous day’s loser ETF and the previous day’s winner ETF they would have obtained Cumulative Abnormal Returns of 113.50% and -134.13%, respectively. In addition, this study supports the experimental research findings documented in Bloomfield, R., Libby, R., and Nelson, M. (1998) and Bloomfield, R. and Hales, J. (2002) by providing evidence that (a) the performance of the market portfolio and the loser portfolio show signs of trending behavior and (b) the loser portfolio shows signs of significant outperformance conditioned upon a negative performance event.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
