Abstract

The Random Walk is considered to be a tool trying to explain the 
characteristic of movement of prices in the financial markets. It can also be 
seen in the form of a trial to demonstrate the non-predictability of future
changes in the financial markets through reliance on the characteristics 
identified based on past price changes. In this paper used is the variance-ratio 
test initiated by Lo and MacKinlay to test the Random Walk Hypothesis for a 
more recent data of eleven Stock Indexes, seen as main indexes of the current 
market.
