Abstract:
Four investment strategies are tested using the S&P Ten Sector Indexes. At the end of each quarter,
investing in the top performer of the quarter results in the lowest rate of return among the four strategies;
investing in the bottom performer of the quarter and hold through the following two quarters results in
the highest rate of return among the four strategies. This implies that investors should not chase the
reported top performer.
