Week 5 Discussion

- The Market is Sensitive

In this course, you are learning about publicly traded companies and stock prices. The efficient market hypothesis (EMH) is a theory that states that stock prices reflect all available information about a company and its financial environment. Consider this theory as you complete your discussion:

Watch this video clip, Steve Jobs-Entrepreneur and Apple Co-Founder, from the Advocates of Change Series: Entrepreneurs.

Review the infographic, Answers to 3 Common Stock Mark Questions Download Answers to 3 Common Stock Mark Questions, making sure to explore the information about the Efficient Market Hypothesis.

Use the Strayer Library to search for articles or other resources (like videos) on a recent or past event or news about the company (or a leader in the company) that either positively or negatively impacted Apple.

Note the date of the news or event, then look up the historical or current stock price (if the event is happening now, you need the most current information).

How was the Apple stock price impacted by the news or event and how does this relate to the concept of the Efficient Market Hypothesis?

Be sure to connect your conclusion to this week's concept of profitability.

Once you have posted your response, respond to at least one of your classmates, using their first name, and provide feedback on what they shared.
