Are stock prices showing mean reversion?
I know stocks are supposed to follow a random walk. And they pretty much have. At least over short run (days, weeks, months, and years), if not over the long run (10-20+ years).
But recently--say the last six months or so--doesn't there seem to be a lot more regression to the mean in short-run price movements? Are hedge funds making a killing by buying low and selling high?
This is just armchair speculation. I haven't done any unit root tests. So maybe I'm all wrong about this.
