Inheriting Losers
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that new managers who take over mutual fund portfolios sell off inherited momentum losers at higher rates than stocks in any other momentum decile, even after adjusting for concurrent trades in these stocks by continuing fund managers. This behavior is observed regardless of fund characteristics and is stronger when new managers are external hires. The tendency of continuing fund managers to hold on to losers could be consistent with either a behavior bias stemming from an inability to ignore the sunk costs associated with the stocks’ past underperformance or a conscious desire to protect their careers by not admitting prior mistakes. Furthermore, we present evidence that selling off loser stocks helps improve fund performance. (JEL G10, G14, G23)

Spherically Symmetric Static Spacetimes
In this paper we discuss matter inheritance collineations by giving a complete classification of spherically symmetric static spacetimes by their matter inheritance symmetries. It is shown that when the energy-momentum tensor is degenerate, most of the cases yield infinite dimensional matter inheriting symmetries. It is worth mentioning here that two cases provide finite dimensional matter inhe...
متن کاملCompetitively Contingent Rewards and Intrinsic Motivation: Can Losers Remain Motivated?1
We explored the effects on intrinsic motivation and ego-involved persistence of winning versus losing a competitively contingent reward and, for losers, the additional effects of receiving either positive performance feedback or performancecontingent rewards. Winners were more intrinsically motivated than losers. Losers given an explicit normative standard who received positive feedback for mee...
متن کاملPost-conflict affiliation as conflict management in captive bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus)
Post-conflict affiliation between former opponents or between one of the former opponents and bystanders might have the function of conflict management, which reduces the costs associated with aggressions. One of the suggested functions of post-conflict affiliation is decreased renewed aggressions directed from aggressors to victims. However, the effect of post-conflict affiliation on renewed a...
متن کاملAnalyticity of strictly static and strictly stationary, inheriting and non-inheriting Einstein-Maxwell solutions
Following the technique of [1], we show that strictly static and strictly stationary solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell equations are analytic in harmonic coordinates. This holds whether or not the Maxwell field inherits the symmetry.
متن کاملInheriting of properties on spectra
We develop the technique of inheriting some properties from spectrum to differential spectrum. Using this machinery, we obtain some new geometric properties of differential algebraic groups.
