Respond to Efficient Capital Market
posted by SANDRA
The stock market is considered to be an efficient capital market for stocks is when stock prices fully reflect all available information about the underlying value of the stock and information is in no way misleading. The efficient market hypothesis (EMH) indicates that information is reflected in prices instantaneously and investors should only expect a normal return rate and that the price adjusts prior to the investor having the ability to trade on it. In addition, firms should expect only to receive fair (present) value for the securities they sell, so financing opportunities that may have presented from fooling investors do not exist in efficient capital markets.
