The authors also find that the dispersion of returns is high, especially in the portfolio of spurned company stocks, implying that investors who would like to benefit from the return advantage of spurned company stocks must diversify widely among them. 2012-03-30T07:34:57Z 2012-03-30T07:34:57Z 2010 Journal Article Journal of Portfolio Management 00954918 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/5870 EN http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/igo World Bank Journal Article United States
