Note(s): The table presents the estimated effect of market liquidity and holding period on stock returns using Weighted Least Squares estimation. The dependent variable is the monthly excess (over risk-free return) return on the stock. t-statistics are given in the parentheses and asterisks denote the statistical significance at the 0.1 (*), 0.05 (**) and 0.01 (***) levels
