The methodology of examining momentum includes forming of 6438 portfolios and testing the mean of these portfolio returns statistically during a 10 year period from 2002 to 2011.The evidence shows in a sample consisting of 94 listed companies which constitutes majority of market capitalization of Tehran Stock Exchange, trading strategies based on return momentum are profitable in midterm. Fama- French (1993) three factor risk model cannot explain momentum in medium term and momentum excess return after adjusting for risk is a challenge to efficient market hypothesis. Therefore, midterm return momentum can be explained by behavioral models and market under reaction can result in momentum. In long term, return momentum disappears and a return of strategies formed based on return momentum is close to zero and insignificant.

This article investigates the usefulness of applying the technical analysis to the world gold market by using daily world gold price data per ounce in the US Dollar during last 37 years and the Relative Strength Index which is a directional indicator of the technical analysis.

The average return on equity (or maintenance) of gold in the gold market, when relative strength index technical analysis of the predictive signals, signs are purchasing, the value is positive. This article is also a useful model to provide technical analysis of gold prices

Many accidents occur every year around the world cause material and human losses. The amounts of insured losses resulting from these incidents make damage inflicted on the insurance company.

In first approach, by considering 27 contracts separately, we perceived that the effect of trade volume is meaningful and positive. As we expected, the effect of maturity and open interests are negative, but it’s not meaningful. In second approach, by using time series observation during sample period, the effect of trade volume and open interests on future price volatility have been studied. As a result, we find that the effect of trade volume and open interests on future price volatility is positive and negative respectively. Both of these effects are meaningful, but, the former is substantially more than the latter.
