My paper investigates in which periods the idiosyncratic volatility anomaly is observable, and the trend in recent years. It uses a graphical methodology that allows the reader to assess the effects of different starting and ending months. Plots for the value-weighted portfolio show that near the end of the sample period, the Ang et al. (2006) anomaly either attenuates or disappears. Consistent with Bali and Cakici (2008), the effect is weaker and insignificant for the equal-weighted portfolio. Using 5F and 6F benchmark return models shows similar results that differ quantitatively, but not qualitatively.

Pastor and Stambaugh’s (PS 2003) aggregate liquidity innovations can be closely replicated, as can their traded factor based on historically estimated liquidity betas, which performs even stronger out of sample. This factor’s performance is highly sensitive to construction details, however, and exhibits significantly weaker performance when rebalanced at its natural monthly frequency, or when constructed using either more or less extreme sorts. Their predicted liquidity risk factor is more difficult to replicate, and difficult to interpret because characteristics chosen to predict liquidity risk introduce mechanical relations to other known anomalies. Contrary to the claims of PS, liquidity risk appears essentially unrelated to momentum. JEL classification: G11, G12.
