Abstract: Numerous empirical studies have appeared in recent years concerning the behavior of stock market prices. Cootner's book [2] presents an excellent summary of pre-1964 efforts, while Fama's paper [5] discusses some of the more recent work. While a few writers believe that certain price trends and patterns exist which enable the investor to make better predictions of the expected value of future stock price changes, the majority of these studies conclude that past price data alone cannot form the basis for the prediction of the expected value of price movements in the stock market.
