Lack of buying finds confirmation in our quant model

Article Abstract:

The Signal II quantitative model of Insiders' Chronicle generated very few new buy recommendations for stocks during early Jun. 1995. The lack of such recommendations confirms the non-buying trend among insiders. The model has successfully predicted excess stock returns consistent with long-term investment strategies and typically makes 30 to 40 buy recommendations per week, of which 15 to 20 are previously unranked. These results suggest that insiders expect the earnings-based market momentum to decline in late 1995 because profit-takers will punish stocks that do not meet profit targets.

Convertible calls and corporate taxes under asymmetric information

Article Abstract:

A signalling model that correlates the activity between the call of convertible securities with the presence of corporate taxes and the uncertainty of earnings show that the conversion of convertible stocks into common stocks in the presence of information asymmetry negatively affects the earnings from the conversion process. This depreciation in earnings can also be compounded by the tax deductibility of the conversion, with the announcement reducing the tax shield that can be offered by the agent.
