Testing the Long-Term Profitability of the Short-Term Reversal Strategy
The purpose of this investigation was to test the theoretical possibility of an investor earning a positive cash return from the activities of the stock market despite effectively holding no position at all in said market. The sample data were the daily returns for the shares of the 780 companies …

Dynamic links between short-term deformation and long-term tectonics: a finite element study
… seismic cycles, and linked these results to long-term tectonics. In the central Andes, I found that much of the GPS-measured crustal shortening can be explained by interseismic and postseismic viscoelastic strains; the apparently discordant GPS and geological data can be reconciled in the …

Modelling long-term security returns
… trajectories with an independent Poisson process term based on the GBM model. Market crashes, defined as a decline of at least 10% in the S&P500 over a maximum of 252 trading days, are modelled using a homogeneous Poisson process. The combined simulation results show that the model is effective in …
