1. a) For each of the three versions of market efficiency (weak, semi-strong, and strong) give an example of a stock price movement (can be real or hypothetical) that would NOT be consistent with that version of efficiency. b) What sorts of factors might limit the ability of rational investors to take advantage of any pricing errors that result from the actions of “behavioral investors”?
