Finally, I am thankful to my family for giving me facilitation to complete my thesis i LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com ABSTRACT This thesis investigates whether momentum or contrarian phenomenon exist on Vietnamese Stock Market over the period from January 2005 to June 2011 We employ the famous methodology by Jegadeesh and Titman (1993) to calculate the profit of momentum and contrarian strategies which were built base on the historical return of 424 stocks listed on Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange and Ha Noi Stock Exchange We found that all 16 trading contrarian strategies always make abnormal profit with statistical significance at the level of 10% The most profitable contrarian strategy with portfolio based on month formation and month holding has a average monthly return of 2,829% (equivalent to annually return of 33,95%) with significance level of 2% Our research demonstrates that the abnormal profit on trading contrarian strategy can not be accounted for by beta-risk as well as market size But we found a evidence of P/B ratio explaining contrarian phenomenon on Vietnamese Stock Market Key words: Momentum; Contrarian strategies ii LUAN VAN CHAT

luanvanchat@agmail.com CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 1.1 Overview of Momentum and Contrarian Strategies In 1970, Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) developed by Professor Eugene Fama proclaimed that in the efficient market no one could consistently beat the market and stock prices follow a random walk Thus, future prices of stocks could not be predicted from their past prices, it means that the abnormal return from trading should be zero However, a lot of investors and researchers have doubts about the efficient market hypothesis both empirically and theoretically They always try to find some abnormal returns to prove the inefficiency of the markets Consequently, forecasting the price movements in stock markets has become a major challenge for investors, brokers and speculators Studying the movement of stock prices become one of the most attractive fields of research due to its commercial applications and benefits it offers Recently, there are many researchers and traders have studied stock price predictions such as Fundamental Analysis, Technical Analysis, CANSLIM, etc… And one of the most attractive trading strategies is momentum (and contrarian) strategy The momentum strategy appeared firstly in the 1960s However, it became widely known only in the early 1990s after Narasimham Narasimhan Jegadeesh and Sheridan Titman published their study Momentum and contrarian strategies are two opposite investment strategies which use historical price/return data in order to forecast the future development of stock performance to make excess returns Momentum investing strategy, also sometimes known as “Trend following”, believes that stocks which have good performance in the past will keep doing so in the future, it buys (go long) stocks that have outperformed in the recent past, and short sell (go short) those that have underperformed over the same period In contrast, a contrarian strategy believes that stocks which have good historical performance will be bad in the future, so it suggests short selling past winning stocks and buying past losing stock The contrarian strategy was introduced first LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com
