Regarding Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH), which of the following statements is TRUE?
Investors in the market are assumed to be rational and own private information.
If the semi-strong form of EMH is true, all information contained in the history of past prices has been reflected by the current price.
If the semi-strong form of EMH is true, you cannot beat the market by trading on private information.
Post-earnings announcement drift is consistent with the semi-strong form of EMH.
Which of the following statements is FALSE?
When a buyer seeks to buy a stock, the willingness of other parties to sell the
same stock suggests that they value the stock differently.
O When private information is relegated to the hands of a relatively small number
of investors, these investors may be able to profit by trading on their
information.
Since stock markets aggregate the information and views of many different
investors, we expect the stock price to react quickly to new publicly available
information as the investors continue to trade until a consensus is reached as to
the new value of the stock.
If the profit opportunities from having private expertise are large, other
individuals will attempt to gain the expertise and devote at least as large amount
of resources needed to acquire it.
Describe some of the motives and mistakes made by the investors?
