- Why is it difficult to puncture a market bubble?arrow_forward8. The efficient markets hypothesis True or False: The efficient markets hypothesis holds only if all investors are rational. O False O True Almost all financial theory and decision models assume that the financial markets are efficient. The informational efficiency of financial markets determines the ability of investors to "beat" the market and earn excess (or abnormal) returns on their investments. If the markets are efficient, they will react rapidly as new relevant information becomes available. Financial theorists have identified three levels of informational efficiency that reflect what information is incorporated in stock prices. Identify the form of capital market efficiency under the efficient market hypothesis described in the following statement: Current market prices reflect all relevant information, whether it is known publicly or privately. This statement is consistent with: O Semistrong form efficiency O Strong form efficiency O Weak form efficiencyarrow_forwardQuestion 10 A. If the market adheres to the strong form of the efficient market hypothesis, what is the implication for the usefulness of gathering and analysing data about companies? What sort of logical paradox seems to result? B. If the market is efficient with respect to one information set i.e. either weak, semi-strong or strong form, does this necessarily imply that the market is inefficient with respect to the other two information sets? Explain. C. Tests of market efficiency are often referred to as “joint tests” of two hypotheses. Explain the meaning of this. Further, try to speculate on the difficulty this poses for tests of market efficiency. D. For each of the following given information, indicate which form of the efficient market hypothesis is correct and if that information is reflected in securities prices. (i). Government-released data on the money supply (ii). A corporate quarterly earnings report (iii). A public release of information from the Securities and…arrow_forward
- Moving to another question will save this response. Question 5 According to the strong form of efficient market hypothesis: Using past price and volume information one can earn abnormally high returns from stocks. Using insider information one can earn abnormally high returns from stocks. Private information is of no help in earning abnormally high returns. Financial statement analysis can be used to earn abnormally high returns from stocks. Moving to another question will save this response.arrow_forwardWhich of the following sources of market inefficiency would be most easily exploited?a. A stock price drops suddenly due to a large sale by an institution.b. A stock is overpriced because traders are restricted from short sales.c. Stocks are overvalued because investors are exuberant over increased productivity in the economy.arrow_forwardWhat are efficient markets? Imagine if the price of a stock is going up and financial markets are efficient what can you tell us about the nature of the stock? What if the markets are inefficient then how would you react to increasing prices for a particular stock?arrow_forward
- If markets are efficient, how is it possible that market bubbles and crashes occur?arrow_forward_3. This is the form an efficient market that if true, then performing a technical analysis will not give new information. _4. This is the form of an efficient market that if true, then performing a fundamental analysis will not give new information. _5. This is the form of a na efficient market that if true, then performing both fundamental and technical analyses will not benefit the investors.arrow_forwardWhy does market bubble occur?Discuss.arrow_forward
- Which one of the following statements is true? Market crashes tend to be accompanied by low market volume. The Asian market crash was followed by a quick recovery. The market crashes of 1929 and 1987 are very similar in both the percentage decline in market value and in the ensuing market recovery. Market crashes tend to follow market bubbles. Market bubbles and crashes prove that financial markets are inefficient.arrow_forwardWe know that the market should respond positively to good news and that good-news events such as the coming end of a recession can be predicted with at least some accuracy. Why, then, can we not predict that the market will go up as the economy recovers?arrow_forwardIf all investors believe that the market is efficient, could that eventually lead to less efficiency in the market? Explain with an example.arrow_forward
