26) Which of the following statement(s) is/are accurate? Select one or more: The most aggressively priced orders are the highest priced buy orders and the lowest priced sell orders. Strong-form efficient markets theory proclaims that one cannot exploit publicly available news or financial statement information to routinely outperform the market. The highest bid in the market is the best bid, and the lowest ask in the market is the best offer. Active portfolio management based on fundamental analysis is most likely to produce abnormal returns if a market is weak-form efficient but semistrong-form inefficient.
Which of the following statements about the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) is incorrect? Group of answer choices a)If the market is strong-form efficient, investors can not earn abnormal returns using inside information. b) If the investment in small firms earns a positive abnormal return, the stock market is not semi-strong form efficient. c) If a market is efficient, investors tend to follow a passive investment strategy. d) If the future stock price change depends on its history, the market is not weak-form efficient. e) If a market is weak-form efficient, fundamental analysis can not earn a positive abnormal return.

what are the challenges faced by an investment advisor in managing investor expectations in volatile market conditions? Additionally, can you validate the statement: According to Harry Markowitz, the risk of well-diversified portfolio is less than the risk of the candidate used in the portfolio.
In a seminal article on portfolio theory, Markowitz (1952) illustrated that investors are not compensated for taking on firm specific or idiosyncratic risk; however, they are compensated for taking market or systemic risk. Use your understanding of the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), statistical concepts such as standard deviation and variance, and our ideas about market efficiency and indicate whether you believe that this is a good theory. Include at least two citations that support your response.
37 - An increase in investor risk aversion would be expected to: Increase the Risk-Free Rate while Decreasing the Expected Return on the Market Portfolio. Increase the Risk-Free Rate while Increasing the Expected Return on the Market Portfolio. Decrease the Risk-Free Rate while Decreasing the Expected Return on the Market Portfolio. Decrease the Risk-Free Rate while Increasing the Expected Return on the Market Portfolio. There is not enough information to determine how the Risk-Free Rate and Expected Return on the Market Portfolio will change. None of the above answers is correct.
If the assumptions underlying the CAPM hold, then an implication from the model is that: A) investors are irrational B) the market portfolio is efficient C) no risk-premiums are expected from bearing systematic risk D) risk-premiums are expected from bearing firm-specific risk
The Arbitrage Pricing Theorem states that:a)If arbitrage opportunities do not exist then the returns of all assets are driven by a set of common factors.b)Arbitrage portfolios are impossible.c)The expected return of any arbitrage portfolio is zero.d)The common constant factor is the risk-free asset
Suppose the solid line represents the capital market line that results from a CAPM equilibrium and the dotted curves represent indifference curves for a given individual. Which of the following is correct if point M corresponds to the market portfolio? Group of answer choices The individual optimally holds only the market portfolio, M. The individual optimally holds portfolio B which can be partially characterized by a long position in the riskless asset. The individual optimally holds portfolio B which can be partially characterized by a short position in the riskless security The individual optimally holds portfolio A which can be partially characterized by a long position in the riskless security. None of the above.
5) Which of the following statement(s) is(are) false regarding the selection of a portfolio from those that lie on the capital allocation line? 1.I) Less risk-averse investors will invest more in the risk-free security and less in the optimal risky portfolio than more risk-averse investors. 2.II) More risk-averse investors will invest less in the optimal risky portfolio and more in the risk-free security than less risk-averse investors. 3.III) Investors choose the portfolio that maximizes their expected utility. A) I only B) II only C) III only D) I and III E) II and III Justify the correct answer.
