efficient market hypothesis:
security prices already reflect all the available information.
They are 3 levels of Market efficiency:
1. Strong efficiency: Insider information, fundamental analysis and
technical analysis are unless in such a market.
2. Semi- Strong: fundamental analysis and technical analysis are
unless in such a market.
3. Weak: technical analysis is unless in such a
market.
Efficient market approach says that past price movement, earnings report and volume traded doesn't affect stocks Current price and can't be used to predict the stocks future directions.
In simple words, past performance doesn't guarantee the future performance of the stock price moment. This is because all the available information is already taken into consideration.
So the efficient market approach is a forecast backbreaker/poor forecaster not because of simple forecast models but due to Well-functioning financial markets.
Answer: False
The efficient market approach usually has poor forecast results because the forecasting models are very simple....

True or False: A perfectly competitive market is efficient because profit-maximizing producers conduct market research to find out what consumers' MU is, and then produce a quantity so that MU=MC.
1: True or False: The efficient markets hypothesis holds only if all investors are rational.False2: 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...

5. Using regression analysis to forecast assets The AFN equation and the financial statement-forecasting approach both assume that assets grow at relatively the same rate as sales. However, the relationship between assets and sales is often a little more difficult than that. In particular, some firms use regression analysis to predict the required assets needed to support a given level of sales. Mainway Toys Co. has used its historical sales and asset data to estimate the following regression equations: Accounts...
