Question: Maintain your sorted groups as in part (a), but now, instead of looking at the onemonth return for July 2013, look at the six-month period
Maintain your sorted groups as in part (a), but now, instead of looking at the onemonth return for July 2013, look at the six-month period from July 2013 to December 2013.Namely, for each stock, compute their 6-month average return for these six months, and thencompute the average of these average returns within each of the 5 groups (i.e., you shouldobtain five group averages). In other words, you sorted your chosen stocks into 5 groupsbased on each stock's 12-month average return from July 2012 to June 2013, as you did in2part (a), and now you are looking at each group's equal-weighted 6-month average returnfor the period from July 2013 to December 2013 (it is "equal-weighted" because each stockwithin a group is assigned the same weight when calculating the group average). Based onthis information, do you observe momentum in stock returns?
