Mean Reversion

    0.01 sec.
Mean Reversion
A strategy that involves purchasing an underperforming stock or another type of security and holding the position until the market rebounds.

Notes:
The mean reversion strategy is based on the mathematical premise that all prices will eventually move back towards the mean or average return. Thus, if a stock is underperforming, its price will move towards its average value when the market rebounds.
