First, empirically, we show that portfolios within which conditional momentum strategies (ie, buying winners and selling losers) are unprofitable, tend to have significantly higher unconditional average returns than portfolios within which momentum strategies are profitable. Second, we rationalize this in a standard model to which we add momentum; the intuition is that assets with more conditional trading opportunities are bid up by speculators and tend to have higher prices and lower unconditional returns. Third, we show that for many asset pricing anomalies, a momentum strategy tends to be unprofitable within the long leg, but profitable within the short leg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Visit Quantpedia to read the full article:  <br><a href=\"https:\/\/quantpedia.com\/momentum-explains-a-bunch-of-equity-factors\/?a=6080\">https:\/\/quantpedia.com\/momentum-explains-a-bunch-of-equity-factors\/?a=6080<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Financial academics have described so many equity factors that the whole universe of them is sometimes called \u201cfactor zoo\u201d.
