A Neglected Semi-Stylized Fact of Daily Stock Returns

We plot aggregated daily stock returns with absolute value less than x against x and show empirically that this produces a typical spoon-shaped pattern which indicates a special type of asymmetry which has not been discussed before. This pattern disappears when individual returns are averaged; it is also absent in stock price indices, which points to explanations based on firm-specific drivers of returns.
