Random OR Non-random Walk?

In the sense that if I go long I am predicting the market to go up yes.

But in the same way I make a move in backgammon am I predicting that I will throw double sixes or that my opponent won't?

> pepper_john: "adaptive market is becoming more popular among academics."

It has been since about 1945 and an impressive line of "academics" lost their pants in the market, with or without random walk.
:D
Who was talking about AMH (adaptive market hypothesis) in 1945? :confused:
didn't talk about your AMH :confused:
if you would know a bit more about system theory, you might understand why I picked some date about 1945 for "academics" losing their pants randomly or not in the market ever since.
:cool:
Given the context, pepper_john's post was about AMH. That's why I queried your reply, which I now see is a non sequitur. :cool:

Quote from dont:

Its random or very near to. But not efficient. Think about it if it was efficient there would be no trade Volatility would be close to zero.

In the end someone who understamds the difference between random and efficient market.

Market can be random but yet non-efficient, for example, if it has memory.

Exactly, When Beat the Dealer was written I belive a few casino's thought it so funny that anyone could beat the "House Edge" that they advertised they would send a car round to fetch you if you were a card counter.

Well we know who won that argument:p
 
EMH goes against common sense, IMO. People rise to the top in any profession.

Everyone knows the rules of golf. You just hit a ball in a hole. No one has any great physical advantage. Every market participant has the same information. There's only so many ways that you can swing a club. Everyone knows the rules. But there's only one Tiger Woods.

It's the same in movie making, poker, teaching, acting, music, marketing. People get ahead because of their mental of physical advantages. Why investing would be *special* or different from any other activity just doesn't make sense....

Google at $100 billion!!! doesn't sound very efficient....
 
Quote from jbtrader23:



Google at $100 billion!!! doesn't sound very efficient....

Especially when a few days before it was trading at about $85 billion.?

If you ask me the volatility is just to great for all the information to be in the price.
 
These are various literature (papers, books & patents, total 237mb) relating to Efficient Market Hypothesis, Technical Analysis, Empirical evidences for

non-random & random walk in the market.

Those who can, profit. Those who can't, more theories.

Enjoy.
