Is stock market overreaction persistent over time?
Article Abstract:
A study is conducted to re-test the stock market overreaction hypothesis proposed by DeBondt and Thaler (1985 and 1987) and supported by Chopra, Lakonishok and Ritter (1992). The stability and persistence of this assertion are investigated using data drawn from the monthly CRSP tape for the period 1926-1992. The results indicate that the overreaction hypothesis is most pronounced during the pre-war subperiod and that there is a strong positive relationship between market risk premiums and the arbitrage portfolio returns. Other findings are discussed.

The impact of settlement procedures on day-of-the-week effects: evidence from the Kuala Lumpur stock exchange
Article Abstract:
An investigation of a number of daily calendar time anomalies for the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange Composite Index revealed its seasonal returns pattern where Mondays generally have negative average returns while Wednesdays and Thursdays have positive average returns. To explain the occurrence of this pattern of returns, closed market effects, spillover effects, size or price effects and the January effects are considered. However, no explanation could be found, thus, making seasonal returns a pure market anomaly.
