Abstract: In this paper we investigate the argmin process of Brownian motion $B$ defined by $alph{a}_t:=supleftsin[0,1]:B_{t+s}=mi{n}_{uin[0,1]}{B}_{t+u}ight$ for $tgeq0$. The argmin process $alpha$ is stationary,with invariant measure which is arcsine distributed. We prove that $(alph{a}_t;tgeq0)$ is a Markov process with the Feller property, and provide its transition kernel $Q_t(x,cdot)$ for $t>0$ and $xin[0,1]$. Similar results for the argmin process of random walks and L'evy processes are derived. We also consider Brownian extrema of a given length. We prove that these extrema form a delayed renewal process with an explicit path construction. We also give a path decomposition for Brownian motion at these extrema
