  • The Time-Varying Liquidity Risk of Value and Growth Stocks
    EDHEC-Risk Institute 393-400 promenade des Anglais 06202 Nice Cedex 3 Tel.: +33 (0)4 93 18 32 53 E-mail: [email protected] Web: www.edhec-risk.com The Time-Varying Liquidity Risk of Value and Growth Stocks April 2010 Ferhat Akbas Mays Business School, Texas A&M University, College Station Ekkehart Boehmer Affiliate Professor, EDHEC Business School Egemen Genc Lundquist College of Business, University of Oregon, Eugene Ralitsa Petkova Mays Business School, Texas A&M University, College Station Abstract We study the liquidity exposures of value and growth stocks over business cycles. In the worst times, value stocks have higher liquidity betas than in the best times, while the opposite holds for growth stocks. Small value stocks have higher liquidity exposures than small growth stocks in the worst times. Small growth stocks have higher liquidity exposures than small value stocks in the best times. Our results are consistent with a flight-to-quality explanation for the countercyclical nature of the value premium. Exposure to time-varying liquidity risk captures 35% of the small- stock value premium and 100% of the large-stock value premium. We thank seminar participants at Texas A&M University and the University of Oregon for helpful comments and suggestions. EDHEC is one of the top five business schools in France. Its reputation is built on the high quality of its faculty and the privileged relationship with professionals that the school has cultivated since its establishment in 1906. EDHEC Business School has decided to draw on its extensive knowledge of the professional environment and has therefore focused its research on themes that satisfy the needs of professionals.

  • A Primer on U.S. Stock Price Indices
    A Primer on U.S. Stock Price Indices he measurement of the “average” price of common stocks is a matter of widespread interest. Investors want to know how “the Tmarket” is doing, and to be able to compare their returns with a meaningful benchmark. Money managers often have their compensation tied to performance, typically measured by comparing their results to a benchmark portfolio, so they and their clients are interested in the benchmark portfolio’s returns. And policymakers want to judge the potential for sudden adjustments in stock prices when differences from “fundamental value” emerge. The most widely quoted stock price index, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, has been supplemented by other popular indices that are constructed in a different way and pose fewer problems as a measure of stock prices. At present, a number of stock price indices are reported by the few companies that we will consider in this paper. Each of these indices is intended to be a benchmark portfolio for a different segment of the universe of common stocks. This paper discusses some of the issues in constructing and interpreting stock price indices. It focuses on the most widely used indices: the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the Stan- dard & Poor’s 500, the Russell 2000, the NASDAQ Composite, and the Wilshire 5000. The first section of this study addresses issues of construction and interpretation of stock price indices. The second section compares the movements of the five indices in the last two decades and investigates the Peter Fortune relationship between the returns on the reported indices and the return on “the market.” Our results suggest that the Dow Jones Industrial Average (Dow 30) The author is a Senior Economist and has inherent problems in its construction.

Securities industry representatives—recognizing the need for, and actively seeking the responsibilities of, self-regulation—worked with the SEC to obtain this legislative authority. Putting into practice the principle of cooperative regulation, the Maloney Act authorized the SEC to register voluntary national associations of broker/dealers for the purpose of regulating themselves under SEC oversight.

    Spectacle Economy Nasdaq, Speculative Corrections and Investing in the Fake In a span of five years, the Finnish company Nokia has become the most valuable European company, if one considers the market value of its stocks. Nokia has gone from being a small Finnish producer of mobile telephones, to a company whose greatest potential lies in making money through its stocks. Nokia is indeed making money, but not more money than many other companies. However Nokia’s shareholders believe in the company’s Potential to expand its market, not only by selling more phones, but also through other types of products and services. Limited liability has always been one of the excitements in capitalism, and has brought us recessions and upturns, broken the curve, ruined people's lives, and even allows 20 year old investors to acquire large companies through profits made from investments accumulated through short time via high risk investments in the various NASDAQ listings around the globe. 2 It is now possible to accumulate fortunes at a never before seen pace, that is if one is skilled enough in the play of one’s stock portfolio. Speculation and overrating caused the Wall Street collapse in 1929, and necessitated severe corrections once again during the oil crisis and in the 1987 recession. Limited liability has been one of the players that has ruled industrial capitalism, and made it exciting to play the stock market for those who had money to play with. From the mid­90’s and especially throughout the last two years the situation has undergone drastic change.

  • Nasdaq Market Center Systems Description
    I. Introduction and Background The Nasdaq Market Center is a fully integrated order display and execution system for all Nasdaq National Market securities, Nasdaq SmallCap Market securities, and securities listed on other markets. The Nasdaq Market Center is a voluntary, open- access system that accommodates diverse business models and trading preferences. In contrast to traditional floor-based auction markets, Nasdaq has no single specialist through which transactions pass, but rather uses technology to aggregate and display liquidity and make it available for execution. The Nasdaq Market Center allows market participants to enter unlimited quotes and orders at multiple price levels. Quotes and orders of all Nasdaq Market Center participants are integrated and displayed via data feeds to market participants and other Nasdaq data subscribers. Nasdaq Market Center participants are able to access the aggregated trading interest of all other Nasdaq Market Center participants in accordance with an order execution algorithm that adheres to the principle of price-time priority.1 II. Nasdaq Market Participants The Nasdaq Market Center accommodates a variety of market participants. Market makers are securities dealers that buy and sell securities at prices displayed in Nasdaq for their own account (principal trades) and for customer accounts (agency trades). Market makers actively compete for investor orders by displaying quotations representing their buy and sell interest – plus customer limit orders – in securities quoted in the Nasdaq Market Center. By standing ready to buy and sell shares of a company’s stock, market makers provide to Nasdaq-listed companies and other companies quoted in the Nasdaq Market Center a valuable service.

    E-ISSN 2281-4612 Academic Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies Vol 5 No 3 S1 ISSN 2281-3993 MCSER Publishing, Rome-Italy December 2016 An Empirical Comparison of the Major Stock Exchanges: NYSE, NASDAQ and LSE in Perspective MBA Isida Mansaku MSc. Saimir Mansaku Ioannis Tampakoudis, PhD Canadian Institute of Technology, Tirana, Albania Email: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Doi:10.5901/ajis.2016.v5n3s1p406 Abstract As (Considering that) listing on any exchange provides a great opportunity to the corporates or entrepreneurs for raising capital in order to fund new projects or to undertake expansions or diversifications, we have conducted an empirical research on the largest stock exchanges worldwide, focusing more on New York Stock Exchange, London Stock Exchange and NASDAQ respectively. The main purpose of this study is to provide evidence on the performance of the three exchanges with the emphasis on some key indicators for the period spanning from 2010 to 2014. The analysis conducted on these indicators reflects the progress of the exchanges during this period and provides a great statistical significance. Moreover, the recent trends are tracked down to demonstrate how this valuable source can be channeled into decision making. The findings outline that the stock exchanges are reliable barometers to measure the economic growth of a country and could be beneficial for a range of market participants, such as companies or current and potential investors when selecting a stock exchange, for issuers, and of course for scholars to get a better idea about the important happenings on stock exchanges and to understand the impact that one exchange movement has on other.

Flight to Quality, Flight to Liquidity, and the Pricing of Risk Dimitri Vayanos NBER Working Paper No. 10327 February 2004 JEL No. G1, G2 ABSTRACT We propose a dynamic equilibrium model of a multi-asset market with stochastic volatility and transaction costs. Our key assumption is that investors are fund managers, subject to withdrawals when fund performance falls below a threshold. This generates a preference for liquidity that is time- varying and increasing with volatility.

  • List of Approved Regulated Stock Exchanges
    Index Governance LIST OF APPROVED REGULATED STOCK EXCHANGES The following announcement applies to all equity indices calculated and owned by Solactive AG (“Solactive”). With respect to the term “regulated stock exchange” as widely used throughout the guidelines of our Indices, Solactive has decided to apply following definition: A Regulated Stock Exchange must – to be approved by Solactive for the purpose calculation of its indices - fulfil a set of criteria to enable foreign investors to trade listed shares without undue restrictions. Solactive will regularly review and update a list of eligible Regulated Stock Exchanges which at least 1) are Regulated Markets comparable to the definition in Art. 4(1) 21 of Directive 2014/65/EU, except Title III thereof; and 2) provide for an investor registration procedure, if any, not unduly restricting foreign investors. Other factors taken into account are the limits on foreign ownership, if any, imposed by the jurisdiction in which the Regulated Stock Exchange is located and other factors related to market accessibility and investability. Using above definition, Solactive has evaluated the global stock exchanges and decided to include the following in its List of Approved Regulated Stock Exchanges. This List will henceforth be used for calculating all of Solactive’s equity indices and will be reviewed and updated, if necessary, at least annually.
