Abstract

This study examines daily price reactions to initial reviews of securities by the Value Line Investment Survey. The reviews are found to convey information to the market as significant abnormal returns are found over a 3-day period around release of the information. Furthermore, there is no statistically significant subsequent price reation after this 3-day period, consistent with market efficiency.
