Table 1. Profitability Analysis of Six Momentum Strategies
This table presents profitability of six momentum strategies during 1981 to 2010, which include the price (JT) momentum strategy, industry (MG) momentum strategy, 52-week high (H52) momentum strategy, moving average momentum (MAR) strategy, Residual (RS) momentum strategy, Earning (Ear) momentum strategy. For each momentum strategy indicator, ten equally weighted portfolio are formed with overlapping periods. A zero-cost portfolio is then formed by simultaneously buying top 10% and selling bottom 10% of stocks. k=3, 6, 9, and 12 represents holding periods of 3, 6, 9, and 12months, respectively.

Table 3: Pairwise Comparison of Six Momentum Strategy Profitability
This table presents pairwise comparison of six momentum strategies during 1981 to 2010. First, ten equally weighted portfolios are formed according to one of the six (JT, MG, H52, MAR, RS and Earn) momentum strategy indicators. A winner (Loser) portfolio is then formed with top (bottom) 30% of stocks. Within the winner and the loser portfolios, stock are further sorted by one of the other five momentum strategy indicators into ten equally weighted portfolios. Again, a winner (Loser) portfolio is then formed with top (bottom) 30% of stocks. Hold these winner and loser portfolios for 6 months to see whether any of the other five momentum strategies can generate significant returns, and outperforms the momentum strategy used for the first-round sorting.
