WhyWouldaMarketbeEfficient?Thedrivingforcetowardmarketefficiencyissimplycompetitionandtheprofitmotive.Evenarelativelysmallperformanceenhancementcanbeworthatremendousamountofmoney(whenmultipliedbythedollaramountinvolved).Thiscreatesincentivestounearthrelevantinformationanduseit.
SomeImplicationsofMarketEfficiency:DoesOldInformationHelpPredictFutureStockPrices?Thisisasurprisinglydifficultquestiontoanswerclearly.Researchershaveusedsophisticatedtechniquestotestwhetherpaststockpricemovementshelppredictfuturestockpricemovements.Someresearchershavebeenabletoshowthatfuturereturnsarepartlypredictablebypastreturns.BUT:thereisnotenoughpredictabilitytoearnanexcessreturn.Also,tradingcostsswampattemptstobuildaprofitabletradingsystembuiltonpastreturns.Result:buy-and-holdstrategiesinvolvingbroadmarketindexesareextremelydifficulttooutperform.TechnicalAnalysisimplication:Nomatterhowoftenaparticularstockpricepathhasrelatedtosubsequentstockpricechangesinthepast,thereisnoassurancethatthisrelationshipwilloccuragaininthefuture.
SomeImplicationsofMarketEfficiency:RandomWalksandStockPricesIfyouweretoaskpeopleyouknowwhetherstockmarketpricesarepredictable,manyofthemwouldsayyes.Totheirsurprise,andperhapsyours,itisverydifficulttopredictstockmarketprices.Infact,considerableresearchhasshownthatstockpriceschangethroughtimeasiftheyarerandom.Thatis,stockpriceincreasesareaboutaslikelyasstockpricedecreases.Whenthereisnodiscernablepatterntothepaththatastockpricefollows,thenthestock’spricebehaviorislargelyconsistentwiththenotionofarandomwalk.

LegalInsiderTradingSomeinformedtradersarealsoinsidertraders.Whenyouheartheterminsidertrading,youmostlikelythinkthatsuchactivityisillegal.But,notallinsidertradingisillegal.Companyinsiderscanmakeperfectlylegaltradesinthestockoftheircompany.TheymustcomplywiththereportingrulesmadebytheSEC.WhencompanyinsidersmakeatradeandreportittotheSEC,thesetradesarereportedtothepublicbytheSEC.Inaddition,corporateinsidersmustdeclarethattradesthattheymadewerebasedonpublicinformationaboutthecompany,ratherthan“inside”information.
Whoisan“Insider”?Forthepurposesofdefiningillegalinsidertrading,aninsiderissomeonewhohasmaterialnon-publicinformation.Suchinformationisbothnotknowntothepublicand,ifitwereknown,wouldimpactthestockprice.Apersoncanbechargedwithinsidertradingwhenheorsheactsonsuchinformationinanattempttomakeaprofit.
