CFA Practice Question
The semi-strong form of market efficiency is inconsistent with which of the following investment strategies?
II. Buying stocks with a low price/earnings ratio
III. Buying stocks with above-average projected earnings growth
I. Increasing a portfolio's allocation to stocks following a down year in the stock market
II. Buying stocks with a low price/earnings ratio
III. Buying stocks with above-average projected earnings growth
Correct Answer: I, II and III
All of the above information is either current- and historical-security-market-information-based or public information. Therefore, any profitable trading strategy based on these ideas would violate the semi-strong form.
