C. 20002 QUESTIONS PRESENTED In Basic Inc. v. Levinson, 485 U.S. 224 (1988), this Court recognized the fraud-on-the-market presumption of reliance for private rights of action brought by investors under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 10b-5. The fraud-on-the-market presumption is predicated upon the “efficient capital markets hypothesis” (ECMH). The ECMH posits that the market price of a security trading in an efficient stock market reflects all publicly available information, including any misrepresentation, about the issuer of the securities and its business. In Dura Pharmaceuticals, Inc. v. Broudo, 544 U.S. 336 (2005), this Court held that in such fraud-on-the-market cases the element of loss causation requires more than a showing that the alleged misrepresentation inflated a security’s market price at the time of the investor’s purchase.
