Resumen de Selenting Stocks Using a Genetic Algorithm: A Case of Real Estate Investment Trusts

Kaveepong Lertwachara, James J. Cochran

  • Many investors invest according to the analysts’ recommendations. Some studies detect sizable abnormal returns associated with analysts’ recommendations. A tool that imitates the mechanism of the recommendation process should enable individual investors to formulate a profitable investment strategy and to select stocks that analysts have not covered. This paper presents a genetic algorithm (GA) method in identifying attractive stocks. The GA method has shown a promising performance as a tool for investors to develop a profitable investment strategy. GA is able to pick stocks with a “buy” rating at 62.50% compared to 36.45% for stocks picked at random.
