Strong Form

From

Definition: Strong form can refer to the strong form of the efficient markets hypothesis, which is that any public or private information known to anyone about a security is fully reflected in its current price.

Fama (1991) renames tests of the strong form of the hypothesis to be 'tests for private information.' Roughly -- If individuals with private information can make trading gains with it, the strong form hypothesis does not hold.
