Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a statistical framework to evaluate the skill of market timers and security analysts. The author argues that forecasts can have positive value even if they are not perfectly accurate. The book first establishes a basic model of market timing to explore how patterns of returns correspond to the patterns of returns from following certain option investment strategies. This isomorphic correspondence is then used as a basis to develop both parametric and nonparametric statistical procedures to test for superior forecasting skills. The author shows that it is possible to measure the contributions to portfolio performance from market timing and security analysis and that these measurements do not depend on any assumptions about the distribution of returns on securities. The book concludes that while the efficient markets theory and the random walk hypothesis have been soundly criticized and even refuted, there may in fact be exploitable opportunities in the market for above-average returns.
