efficient markets hypothesis

efficient markets hypothesis
Fin
the hypothesis that the stock market responds immediately to all available information, with the effect that an individual investor cannot, in the long run, expect to obtain greater than average returns from a diversified portfolio of shares. There are three forms: the weak form, in which security prices instantaneously reflect all information on past price and volume changes in the market; the semi-strong form, in which security prices reflect all publicly available information; and the strong form, in which security prices reflect instantaneously all information available to investors, whether publicly available or otherwise.
