Profitability of investment strategies developed on the basis of buy and sell recommendations

Abstract

Aim/purpose – The paper has two objectives. The first is to examine the profitability of applying investment strategies based on “buy” and “sell” recommendations issued by stock market analysts. The second objective is to validate that analysts who issue a recommendation may not be impartial (not supporting any of the sides involved in an argument) because the largest group of recommendations issued is “buy” recommendations.
