Summary:碩士 === 國立暨南國際大學 === 經濟學系 === 99 === This study discuss the present returns impact of former and present sentiment on large-cap stocks, small-cap stocks, speculative stock, blue-chip stock, electronics stocks, financial stocks and conventional stocks by Taiwan 50 index stocks. And whether the sentiment changes under the period of bull and bear market. The empirical results show that no matter what kind of stocks' sentiment index, them showed positive relation to present returns. And it also showed positive relation to the next returns. This points out that in the short-term, the optimistic ( pessimistic ) emotion of investors will push up ( pull down)the future stocks returns. The conclusion is different from other empirical results. During the period of bull and bear market, compare to the period of bull market, when large-cap stocks (small-cap stocks) is under the period of bear market (bull market), it is much to be influenced by sentiment index. This reveals that when investors are under the impact of pessimistic emotion during the period of bear market, they are uncertain toward the future stock prices. Therefore they tend to choose Large-cap stocks as their long-term investment targets. When it comes to the period of bull market, however, due to the explosive interests of the small-cap stocks, investors turn to choose Large-cap stocks optimistically instead of small-cap stocks.
