We explicitly solve for the optimal dynamic strategy between a riskless asset and a risky asset with momentum. The optimal portfolio weight depends not only on momentum that characterizes the expected return as in Merton (1971) framework, but also on the historical price path, unlike in Merton....

We develop a continuous-time asset price model to capture short-run momentum and long-run reversal. By studying a dynamic asset allocation problem, we derive the optimal investment strategy in closed form and show that the combined momentum and reversal strategies are optimal. We then estimate...

This study investigates the impact of investor sentiment on excess equity return forecasting. A high (low) investor sentiment may weaken the connection between fundamental economic (behavioral-based non-fundamental) predictors and market returns. We find that although fundamental variables can...
