Stock Market Efficiency



When the prices of all the stocks are at
equilibrium most of the time then that market
is said to be efficient.
A market in which prices are close to the
intrinsic values is efficient.
Intrinsic Values are calculated using
information related to the security.

The more information available in a market about
all the securities the more efficient that market is
