Abstract

We analyzed multifractal properties of 5-min stock returns from a period of over two years for 100 highly capitalized American companies. The two sources: fat-tailed probability distributions and non-linear temporal correlations, vitally contribute to the observed multifractal dynamics of the returns. For majority of the companies the temporal correlations constitute a much more significant related factor, however.
