The closer look on the behaviour of the South African market is something that brings lot of interest since this one of the most developing market, which then gives the perfect opportunity for researchers to develop reliable models for forecasting returns and hence price derivation. It was obtained that most of the stocks in JSE Top 40 Index showed larger upward movements than drawdowns similar to Indian stock market, which makes South African market a promising market to invest in.
