Em nosso caso procuramos ações de diferentes setores da nossa economia. Escolhemos então uma ação do setor bancário (Banco do Brasil), do setor de mineração (Vale) e por último uma ação do setor de papel e celulose (Votorantim Celulose e Papel). Na distribuição do tipo Tsallis o índice entrópico q possui um valor constante, em nosso modelo, propomos que ele seja um função exponencialmente decrescente da variável que descreve o tamanho do sistema sendo considerado. Em nosso caso (ações), a variável em consideração é o retorno clássico. Observamos que na maioria dos casos tratados, não houve necessidade do modelo estendido, mas em um caso foi necessário o uso deste para encontrarmos o melhor ajuste para a distribuição de probabilidade. / The objective of our work is the application of an extended version of Tsallistype distribution and its application in the shares of stock exchange of São Paulo. In our case seek shares of different sectors of our economy. Then choose an action of the banking sector (Banco do Brasil), of the mining sector (Vale) and finally an action in the sector of paper and cellulose (Votorantim Celulose e Papel). Tsallis type distribution of the entropy index q has a constant value in our model, we propose that it is an exponentially decreasing function of the variable that describes the size of the system being considered. In our case (stock), the variable account is the classic back. We observed that in most cases, there was no need for the extended model, but in one case it was necessary to use this to find the best fit for the distribution of probability.

M.B.A / The aim of this dissertation is to determine if there is any evidence that supports a "50" and a "200" day moving average share trading strategy to select, buy and sell shares quoted on the Johannesburg Securities Exchange (JSE) Main Board, in order to determine if a "50" and a "200" day moving average share trading strategy will be appropriate to use, in order to make share trading profits in excess of the return generated by the JSE Overall Index. 1.4 0 .ACTIFVES o To evaluate fundamental analysis in respect of the quality of information (mainly at a company level) available to investors as the basis on which decisions to buy and sell shares are made. o To evaluate previous research undertaken in technical analysis with respect to the use and application of moving averages as a trading strategy in making share selections as well as buy and sell decisions. 14 Analyse historic price data on individual, randomly selected shares from the total population of all main board (1.6.5) listed shares quoted on the Johannesburg

This thesis is focused on the issue of comparing stock exchanges of Eastern Europe, represented by stock exchange alliance Euronext, stock exchanges of Central and Eastern Eu-rope are presented in this thesis by CEE Stock Exchange Group. For each stock markets is given their historical development, followed by the organizational structure and principles of membership under both exchange alliances. The second chapter deals with the trading system and traded instruments, which are compared to both stock exchanges in absolute and relative perspective. The section about the data analysis is focused on the development of stock ex-change indexes of each exchange, as well as indices, presenting the evolution of stock prices in alliances themselves. Further data analysis is focused on market capitalization of the two stock exchange alliances and a number of traded companies on these markets. Outlook for the future is outlined by using elements of technical analysis.

M.Com. (Investment Management) / The study investigates the effects of final dividend announcements on the share prices of the FTSE/JSE Top 40 Index for the period 2003-2012. A classical event study methodology was applied to test the data. Over the sample period the Abnormal Returns (AR), Average Abnormal Returns (AAR) and Cumulative Average Abnormal Returns (CAAR) were calculated. The final sample consisted of 13 companies that included 144 dividend announcement events. The results indicated that although dividend announcements seem to have a positive effect on share prices, the returns yielded from these effects are not significant and close to zero. Evidence relating to the dividend signalling hypothesis was also present in the South African market.
