Abstract

This paper studies the relation between Value Line's successful record in predicting relative stock-price movements and the firm size effect. The data suggest little direct relation between the two phen omena. Value Line tends not to rank small-firm stocks, and small-firm stocks that are ranked are more likely to receive a low rank than la rge-firm stocks. Within each size-sorted quintile of the market, the mean payoffs on costless positions constructed according to Value Lin e's recommendations are positive.
