'Knowledge is power'. It's a saying that can be applied to many fields, including finance. Imagine you possess the inate ability to source relevant information that no one else has the ability to source and you can use this information systematically to your advantage when investing on the stock market. It could prove quite lucrative.

The Efficient Market Hypothesis discusses whether this is the case (there is an information mismatch within the market resulting in opportunity) or whether markets are efficient and opportunities remain limited.
