walkability walk'a·bil'i·ty n.
walkable walk'a·ble adj.

Theory that stock prices behave in an unpredictable fashion because the stock market is efficient. The market price of a company's stock goes randomly around real (intrinsic) value. Current security prices are independent of prior prices. Thus historical prices are not a reliable predictor of future ones. According to random walk, financial information significant enough to affect future value is available to knowledgeable investors. Thus new data affecting stock price are immediately reflected in market value. At any given time, the price of a stock is the optimum estimate of its value including all available information. See also Efficient Market Hypothesis.

Walking in a dream can simply reflect our day-to-day experience of walking. If the act of walking is somehow emphasized in a dream, the dream might be alluding to the meaning of an idiom, such as to "walk out" on some situation, "walk on eggshells," "walk on air," "walk a thin line," "walk all over someone," "walk a tightrope," or "walk and chew gum."
