3 Which of the following statements is (are) true? 1. Several anomalies regarding fundamental analysis have been uncovered. These include the value versus growth (book-to-market) effect, the small-firm effect, and post-earnings-announcement price drift.

Proponents of the efficient market hypothesis often advocate passive as opposed to active investment strategies. The policy of passive investors is to buy and hold a broad-based market index. They expend resources neither on market research nor on frequent purchase and sale of stocks. Passive strategies cannot be tailored to meet individual investor circumstances. 3. Empirical studies of technical analysis do not generally support the hypothesis that such analysis can generate superior trading profits. One noticeable exception is the apparent success of momentum-based strategies over long-term horizons. 4. Technical analysis focuses on the determinants of the underlying value of the firm such as profitability and growth prospects. Fundamental analysis focuses on stock prices patterns and on proxies for buy or sell pressure in the market.
