Which of the following statements about multifactor models is TRUE? A) It is usually difficult to use a global index in a particular industry as a proxy for the industry factor. B) The momentum effect suggests that performance in the short-term is stable. C) When classifying stocks into certain categories, the country of origin does not matter.
B for multifactor models question
I do not remember any of this… like with so many other topics B) The momentum effect suggests that performance in the short-term is stable. is my guess. if that too is wrong, I have gone 0/3 on equity tonight FAIL!!!

yes they are SS 11…crappiest in all equities

well played swap cfaboston - dont have the equity book with me at the office today, working on PM and Corp Fin. i may have bungled up btw. maybe i was thinking of the factors apart from the porter five that affect a company’s position. either way, govt was in that list.
