Market prices reflect expected impact on future earnings and discount rates
Question 3: An activist investor discloses a large stake in a company today. Which immediate market reaction is most plausible?
Shares rise on expectations of governance or strategic changes
Volume drops as investors wait for filings
Shares collapse because activism always harms long-term value

Stocks stay flat since markets assume immediate alternatives exist

Stock becomes illiquid pending analyst reports
Huge immediate spike because tech launches always translate to revenue

Question 7: A headline claims 'large insider selling' at a firm. What myth-busting interpretation should you apply?
Insider selling guarantees a long-term downtrend
Insider selling is illegal and always manipulative
Insider selling can be neutral if driven by diversification, taxes, or scheduled plans
Insider selling always signals imminent company collapse
Question 8: A sudden sector-wide selloff occurs on geopolitical news. Which portfolio response follows risk-aware frameworks?
Liquidate all positions in the sector immediately
Sell only winners and hold losers indefinitely
Assess exposure, rebalance to target weights, and avoid panic trading
