Abstract: | Many investment newsletters offer market-timing advice; that is, they are supposed to recommend increased stock market weights before market declines. Examination of the performance of 326 newsletter asset-allocation strategies for the 1983-95 period shows that as a group, newsletters do not appear to possess any special information about the future direction of the market. Nevertheless, investment newsletters that are on a hot streak may provide valuable information about future returns. |
