comment Why do some anomalies persist while others fade away?
@TalFishman, thanks. Your interpretation is generally correct. But more specifically I argue that anomalies and arbitrage opportunities (AO) are different beasts. AO are anomalies, but anomalies are not necessarily AO. As such anomalies cannot generally be "arbitraged away". Why? (1) Unexplained risk and (2) limits to arbitrage. I edited my answer to make it a bit more complete.

@jk3000, why don't you post some specific papers and references for your statements? That would help framing an answer.

Can you be more specific? What do you mean by "% buying" and "% selling"?

I read the question from a microstructure perspective: "Buyer/seller initiated trade" is common parlance for price taking in a certain direction, in contrast to providing liquidity with a limit order. This decision is an execution decision. Switching from cash to equity (or vice versa) is an allocation decision.

But each trade is either buyer or seller initiated, no? Open interest doesn't help in answering Beatrice's question. Instead, one needs order flow.
