Surprisingly, in an investment world, several brokerage houses do not recommend their clients to buy high BM stocks (value stocks). Stickel (1998) finds that analysts prefer recommending firms with recent strong performance (low BM stocks or growth stocks)because they anticipate high BM stocks to continuously underperform the market in the near future and they recognize the profits from the strategy that depends on purchasing low BM stocks. This is consistent to the mispricing concept discussed by Lakonishok, Shielfer and Vishny (1994) and LaPorta (1996).
