Which of the following is NOT correct with respect to the Efficient Market Hypothesis? If markets are semi-strong form efficient, then fundamental analysts would not be able to earn abnormally good returns, after considering the risk they assume. Semi-strong form efficiency says that if a company announces a labor strike, the stock price very quickly adjusts downward. Evidence suggests that markets are NOT strong form efficient, since insiders could make abnormally good returns trading on private information. However, that is illegal. Semi-strong form efficiency says that when Stryker makes an earnings announcement, the stock price quickly reflects the new information. Weak form efficiency says that technical analysts who study charts of stock prices and volumes can regularly make abnormally good returns, after considering the risk they assume.

Options: Strong evidence against the null is indicated by a p-value less than 0.05 Weak evidence against the null is indicated by a p-value greater than 0.05 Marginal evidence against the null is indicated by a p-value around 0.05 All are correct Which statement is NOT true? Options: Type I error occurs when we measure something to be false and it is true in reality No error occurs when we measure something to be significant and it is also significant in reality Type II error occurs when we accept something is true in reality and measure it to be false No error occurs when we accurately measure something as false
