In the present study, the holding period is dependant variable and bid-ask spread, Stock return volatility and market value are independent variables. The hypotheses were examined using multi-variable regression and the data were analyzed using the panel data method.The results of the study indicate a positive correlation between market value, and the holding periods. The results also indicate that there is no significant relationship between stock return volatility, bid-ask spread and the holding period of the selected companies.
