  Analysis Into The Relationship Between Stock Price And Market Efficiencies (2006) Ref: econ0006 The topic of market
efficiency has been and is likely to
continue to be a matter of intense debate in the investment community.
In order
to understand and participate in this debate, one must understand what
determines the price of stocks, and its relationship with market
efficiency. In
theory, the fair value of stock is its present value of future cash
flows
(future dividend payments). However, in practice, the market price of
stock is
purely determined by demand and supply. It means if investors continue
buying
one stock, the demand of this stock will go up, and then its price will
rise,
in contrast, if investors keep selling one stock, the demand for this
stock
decreases, then the price of the stock will fall. Therefore, a crucial
question
rises, what factors drive the demand and supply of certain stocks? The
answer
is simple, rational investors make their buying and selling decisions
by
collecting relevant information about stocks. Positive news or
information
about one stock will make investors rush to buy this stock, which
increases the
demand for this stock; obviously, any negative information will make
investors
sell this stock, this in turn, will drag the demand of this share to go
down.
Therefore, a set of information plays the most important role in
determining
the demand and supply for stocks, which will be finally reflected by
price
changes of stocks. How quickly and accurately the price of shares react
towards
any relevant information raises the issue of market efficiency!
