We provide strong evidence that the dispersion of individual stock options trading volume across moneynesses (IDISP) contains valuable information about future stock returns. Stocks with high IDISP consistently underperform those with low IDISP by more than 1% per month. In line with the idea...

Using a new utility framework, the author constructs a capital asset pricing model (CAPM) without borrowing or short sales. According to the new utility framework, borrowing at the risk-free rate and short sales of the zero-beta portfolio cause a decline in risk tolerance. This rules-out a...
