Working papers

He collaborated with Jeff Black and Pankaj Jain on a study investigating the relationship between institutional trading behavior and psychological barriers associated with stock price highs. Their research revealed intriguing insights, indicating a positive correlation between institutional trading activity and the proximity of stock prices to their 52-week highs. Conversely, when stock prices approached historical highs, a negative correlation with institutional trading was observed. Through careful analysis, they demonstrated that institutional trading behavior around these high price levels could serve as a strong predictor of future stock returns. These findings underscore the role of institutional investors in leveraging behavioral biases of other market participants, potentially influencing investment decisions and market dynamics.
