involved. Definition of three forms of market efficiency: There are three commonly defined forms in which the efficient market is stated: weak-form efficiency‚ semi-strong-form efficiency and strong-form efficiency. Weak-form efficiency claims that all past prices of a stock should be reflected in the stock’s current price and thus making it impossible to profit by trading on information in past prices in the long run. Semi-strong efficiency states that share prices should adjust to publicly
