The main objective of this thesis is to analyze selected sectors of the European capital market by means of methods of technical and fundamental analysis. Based on the results obtained for each frame exchanges, industry sectors and the best investment strategy. The first part deals with the theoretical description of securities to capital markets, investment strategies, methods of assessment of the securities in the capital markets, the theory of efficient markets, market testing and evidence of their effectiveness. On the European stock market index, including the German DAX30 randomly selected ninety nine companies with data for the period 2006 {-} the 2011th The work on the basis of a confirmed capital market inefficiencies can be found active investment strategy to achieve above average returns.

The aim of this diploma work was to analyze a selected segment of the stock exchange market using the theory of market efficiency and the methods of technical and fundamental analysis, to form an optimal investment strategy on the basis of the findings. The American stock exchange market was analyzed. Six different segments of the capital market were selected ? gold, oil and gas pipelines, steel and iron, car parts, food and telecommunication services. Each segment was represented by eight companies. The general characteristics of the companies were compared according to their profits, degree of risk, alpha and beta coefficients. Fundamental analysis was used to monitor the correlation between future profits for 2012 and alpha coefficients for the period 2007 ? 2011. The theory was proven ? at low levels of future profits, high levels of alpha coefficients were measured and vice versa - at high levels of future profits, low levels of alpha coefficients were measured. During efficiency tests, runs tests and correlation tests were monitored. During runs tests, the number of turns of a real file was compared with the number of runs of a simulated file; no distinctive variances were identified in the monitored stock titles. Forms of market efficiency were proven during the correlation tests and runs tests. The methods of technical analysis used were sliding averages, RSI indicators and Momentum. Trading on the basis of technical analysis is not completely possible because we did not succeed in finding an existing optimal strategy. If an optimal strategy works out it is regardless of the segment?s characteristics. I recommend a passive strategy with regards to the fundamental analysis.

Por meio da adaptação de um velho instituto jurídico, o negócio fiduciário, foi introduzida, no ordenamento jurídico pátrio, a cessão fiduciária de direitos, com vistas a atender a necessidade de garantias mais eficazes para assegurar os negócios empresariais. A cessão fiduciária de direitos sobre coisas móveis, objeto deste trabalho, encontra-se disciplinada no artigo 66-B da Lei n 4.728, de 14/07/1965, introduzido pela Lei n 10.931, de 02/08/2004, e representa um novo mecanismo de garantia aos contratos celebrados no âmbito do mercado financeiro e de capitais. / Bibliografia: p. 188-197. / Inclui notas de rodapé. / Dissertação (mestrado) - Faculdade de Direito da Universidade de São Paulo, Departamento de Direito Comercial, São Paulo, 2010.

The focus of the work lies with the dissonance between discourse and the result of that process, raising the hypothesis that capital market pressure is behind such restructuring. The annual reports of this company portray the restructuring as a recurring corporate strategy, through which the company seeks to boost confidence in the capital market itself and its ability to deliver better results (or reverse bad ones) without, however, such results are achieved in fact, as this case study aims to show. This institutional literature proved to be a flagship tool company speech aimed at telling the actors of the capital market, stories about the strategies set in motion in defense of the interests of shareholders. The examination of such documents for this case study revealed that these strategies unfold in sometimes more tangible actions, sometimes more performing ones and, while restructuring proved to be more performing actions; the strategy of acquisitions / divestiments in series proved to be the most tangible ones. / Este trabalho apresenta um estudo de caso sobre o processo de reestruturação da operação brasileira de uma multinacional americana centenária, fabricante de equipamentos industriais e presente na Fortune 500. O foco do trabalho recai sobre a dissonância entre o discurso e o resultado desse processo, levantando a hipótese de que a pressão do mercado de capitais esteja por trás de tal reestruturação. Os relatórios anuais desta empresa retratam a reestruturação como uma estratégia corporativa recorrente, através da qual, a empresa busca reforçar a confiança do mercado de capitais em si e em sua capacidade de oferecer melhores resultados (ou reverter os ruins), sem que, no entanto, tais resultados sejam alcançados de fato, como o presente estudo de caso pretende mostrar. Tal literatura institucional revelou-se uma ferramenta emblemática do discurso da empresa que visa contar aos atores do mercado de capitais, histórias sobre as estratégias colocadas em movimento em defesa dos interesses dos acionistas. O exame de tais documentos para este estudo de caso revelou que tais estratégias se desdobram em ações ora mais tangíveis, ora mais performáticas sendo que, enquanto as reestruturações se revelaram ações mais performáticas, a estratégia de aquisições / alienações em série revelaram-se as mais tangíveis.

In my diploma I analyzed the USA capital market. I concentrated on 5 representative branches of this market - the biotechnology, the food industry, the car industry, the mining and the finances. 12 companies, which quote their share of stocks in the american capital market, were choosed. I tested the efficiency of this capital market and tried to establish the rate of this market´s efficiency. Later the best strategy was added to the rate of capital market´s efficiency. I counted the average decree, the standard deviation, the variation coefficient, the {$\alpha$} coefficient and {$\beta$} coefficient at the choosed share of stocks. I accomplished the correlative and the runs testing, which were supposed to certify the efficiency of market. The certain anomalies as The Day of the Week Effect, The January Effect and The Size Effect were investigated in more detail. Further I was considering if either the active or the passive strategy should have been used. I concluded that the active strategy is better for investors in times of the financial crisis. I also analyzed P/E ratio at choosed companies. The performated testing shows that the american market of shares is effective, it has the form of low efficiency peak-form efficient markets hypothesis.

It is a means to obtain resources to finance productive activity in the long term, being consistent with the size of the business and its economic capacity. Also, Capital Market is widely used for savings both through funds or direct investments. The Federal Constitution ensures economic order based upon free enterprise. However, regardless of the business sector, that cannot be considered as unlimited freedom in terms of economic activity, exempt of monitoring or accountability. Therefore, over the past two decades the Movable Assets Commission has become a steady and accurate institution establishing administrative rules, conducting assessments in case of suspicion of irregularities, in addition to establishing penalties. On the other hand, Bovespa Market Supervision is taking over self-regulation among traders and brokers. Nonetheless, in some cases administrative supervision alone is insufficient to prevent irregular practices or punish those responsible. For specific cases, measures such as suspension of the exercise of professional activity and fines have proven ineffective to discourage the unlawful conduct of certain persons. Under such circumstances, criminal law becomes the State s last resort to regulate the matter. Law 6.485/76, with wording amended by Law 10.303/01, typifies the crimes of market manipulation, misuse of insider information and irregular exercise of office, profession, activity or function in the capital market. It is society s role to reflect and define what conducts shall be regarded as crimes. / O Mercado de Capitais representa a reunião das mais relevantes empresas em atividades de determinado país. Trata-se de um meio para a obtenção de recursos de modo a financiar a atividade produtiva, em longo prazo, de forma compatível com o porte do negócio e sua capacidade econômica. Noutro aspecto, serve como destino para a poupança popular, quer por meio de fundos, ou investimentos diretos. A Constituição Federal assegura a ordem econômica fundada na livre iniciativa. Não significa, entretanto, liberdade absoluta da atividade econômica e isso vale para qualquer setor empresarial sem que exista alguma espécie de acompanhamento ou responsabilidade. No caso do mercado de capitais, a Comissão de Valores Mobiliários se firmou, ao longo das duas últimas décadas, como instituição serena e precisa, para estabelecer normas administrativas, realizar apurações quanto à suspeita de irregularidades e até estabelecer sanções. A Bovespa Supervisão de Mercados, por sua vez, começa a ocupar o espaço de autorregulação entre os operadores e corretoras. Há casos, contudo, em que a tutela administrativa é insuficiente para, isoladamente, evitar práticas irregulares ou punir os responsáveis. Suspensão do exercício da atividade profissional e multa, em determinados casos, mostram-se fracos a desestimular a conduta ilícita de determinadas pessoas. Normas penais, por vezes, representam o último recurso do Estado para disciplinar o assunto. A Lei 6.485/76, com a redação alterada pela Lei 10.303/01, tipifica os crimes de manipulação de mercado, uso indevido de informação privilegiada e o exercício irregular de cargo, profissão, atividade ou função no mercado de capitais. A sociedade deve refletir e definir quais as condutas que deseja ver previstas como crime.

Comovement is ubiquitous in financial markets. The evolution of asset characteristics, such as price, volatility or liquidity, exhibits a high degree of correlation across assets---a phenomenon that in this thesis will generically be denoted with the term comovement. The origins of such comovement are legion. In their investment decisions, economic agents are not only influenced by their idiosyncrasies---a large part of investment motivations are shared over a population. Demographics or the political situation can generate constraints that are similar for a large number of people. A country's geography can greatly influence the sectors in which it is most productive, which implies that many people are sometimes subject to the same risk factors. Moreover, it is well known that mimesis is part of human psychology, and that people mimic their peers even when taking personal decisions. For these reasons, and many more, financial markets have a very systematic character, and studying the nature and intensity of such comovement is important from a risk management point of view. <p>This thesis studies comovement in financial markets under three dimensions. First, I consider comovement in equity liquidity. The liquidity of an asset is the ease with which that asset can be bought or sold. Liquidity can be measured in various ways and the first chapter concludes that market movements of two different liquidity measures have the same origin. Second, I study the impact correlation comovement on the price of stocks. The correlations between stock returns and the market return evolve through time and are correlated themselves. The effect of this correlation comovement on asset prices is however ambiguous and there is not enough evidence to depict a clear image. Finally, I develop a model to investigate contagion dynamics in the secondary market for European sovereign bonds over the past two years. More particularly, I study whether changes in the bond price of one specific country have an impact the next day on the average bond price in Europe. The study concludes of that bonds of France, Ireland, Portugal, Spain and Italy have been most contagious, whereas the much more volatile Greek bonds have had little impact on the other European countries. / Doctorat en Sciences économiques et de gestion / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished
