Efficient Market Hypothesis Market Efficiency: the speed with which financial security prices adjust to unexpected news Three forms of market efficiency Weak form (random walk) Current prices reflect past prices Technical analysis is useless Semi-strong form Prices reflect all public information Financial analysis is useless Strong form Prices reflect all that is knowable Nobody consistently makes superior profits Market Efficiency: the speed with which financial security prices adjust to unexpected news Three forms of market efficiency Weak form (random walk) Current prices reflect past prices Technical analysis is useless Semi-strong form Prices reflect all public information Financial analysis is useless Strong form Prices reflect all that is knowable Nobody consistently makes superior profits

Relationship among Three Different Information Sets Information set of past prices Information set of publicly available information All information relevant to a stock

Implications of Market Efficiency If believe market IS NOT mostly semi-strong form efficient –Active strategies If believe market IS mostly semi-strong form efficient –Passive strategies If believe market IS NOT mostly semi-strong form efficient –Active strategies If believe market IS mostly semi-strong form efficient –Passive strategies
