Abstract

The aim of this paper is to discuss Dr. Ryan Garvey's studies "Do losses Linger? Evidence from proprietary stock trading," while examining how this works inline with the Efficient Market Hypothesis. Through the research provided by Dr Garvey, it is expressed that professional traders are likely to take more risk to make up for their losses throughout a given day. Efficient markets provide proof that investors are not going to outperform their losses and breakeven for that day. This paper is written under the assumptions of the Efficient Market Hypothesis.
