Abstract
Abstract:This paper reviews the weekend effect on stock market returns. The weekend effect anomaly is contrary to the theory of market efficiency. This anomaly is appealing to be examined because the presence of weekend effect can be useful as a trading strategy that can gain profits for investors. Investors could buy stocks on days with abnormally low returns and sell stocks on days with abnormally high returns. Keywords:Investment Strategy; Stock Returns; Weekend Effect
