5. By using moving average (a technique based on past/historical prices), you continue to earn higher than normal return. Does it violate EMH, if yes, which form (strong, semi-strong, strong)?
Yes, it violates EMH and as technical analysis can give advantage so it violates weak form Efficient Market Hypothesis.

6. Based on earning announcements of firms’ annual results, you find it hard to earn abnormal return. Is it consistent with EMH? If yes, which form of EMH (strong, semi-strong, strong)?
1.
For question 1 to 4 below, which of the following phenomena would violate or be consistent with the Efficient market hypothesis (EMH)?

Realized return is the name for returns that have actually been earned. Many analysts use past realized returns to both predict future...
