thekapila It should be both A and B. As semi strong reflects weak form too.
tonypractice no, A is incorrect - historical price info does not include ALL public availbale info [yesterday's stock price doesn't reflect today's negative earnings annoucement, for example]

B, however, is correct - stock prices reflect all public available info...which includes historical price info!
