How Well Do You Know the Efficient Market Hypothesis and Behavioral Finance?

Study Notes

Eugene Fama is a professor at the University of Chicago and Nobel Prize winner in Economics in 2013.
He proposed the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) which has three versions: weak, semi-strong, and strong.
The EMH suggests that the best projections that can be made from all available information are the ones that form our expectations of the rate of return.
The price of an asset in the financial market reflects all available information at any given moment.
Inefficient assets with high returns attract investors, causing the price to rise and the exceptional return to disappear.
The strong version of the EMH suggests that prices are always correct and reflect all the fundamental factors of the market.
Evidence supports the EMH, such as analysts not outperforming the market and the random walk of stock prices.
Evidence against the EMH includes the January effect and the overreaction of markets.
Robert J. Shiller, a professor at Yale and Nobel Prize winner in Economics in 2013, proposed the concept of "exuberance irrational" in markets.
Behavioral finance applies psychology and sociology to finance, including the impact of overconfidence and loss aversion.
