Question 3: What about the average return after a rise if you wait for a while?
Answer:
The average return after a rise is understandably lower than after a fall as detailed in the previous question. Interestingly, though, if a stock has gained over the last few days, you would do better to avoid short-term bets. More specifically, after the S&P500 rises 5% over five days, the average return over the next seven trading days is negative. You can expect a nominal gain only if you remain invested for at least two weeks (10 trading days). But this average return figure swells to 11.7% over a period of a year (252 trading days).
