Tiivistelmä: | This study replicates recent tests of the recognition heuristic as a device for selecting stock portfolios. The heuristic represents a lower limit to the search for information since simple name recognition is the least one can know about anything. This study, conducted in a down market, reaches the following conclusion: not only can a high degree of company name recognition lead to disappointing investment results in a bear market, it can also be beat by pure ignorance. |
