(b) If the market then rises 26% over three months (as in March–May 2009), what WML return does the linear beta alone predict? (c) Daniel and Moskowitz report losers +163% and winners +8% over that window. What does the gap between (b) and the reported numbers tell you about the shape of losers' payoffs?
