I think it's weak form, past prices shouldn't affect new info.

Wait, how can it be semi-strong if the price was static before?

Definitely semi-strong form, the market reacted to new info.

I thought the strong form was about all information being reflected in prices, but this situation seems more about public news affecting the price, so maybe semi-strong?

This reminds me of a practice question we did on market reactions to earnings announcements. I think the semi-strong form fits best since the share price dropped after the profit warning.

I remember studying the efficient market hypothesis, and I think the semi-strong form might be relevant here since the price reacted sharply to new public information.

I'm a bit unsure, but I feel like the weak form wouldn't apply since the price movement seems to reflect new information rather than just past prices.

Mnemonics are super helpful for remembering tricky concepts like this. I'm glad the teacher came up with a fun one to make it easier to recall.

Okay, let me think this through. The case feed is a specific feature, so it's probably not about switching to standard detail pages. I'll rule out D and focus on the other options.
