- Depends on whether you subscribe to the predictability of stoichastic
- processes theory. Are random walks really random? Are markets truly
- efficient? etc etc.
-
- Since I'm on the other side of the fence (I don't believe that markets
- are efficient) all I ever see is traders making money off of the
- inefficiencies and inherent lags in market activity.
-
- I believe that prices are both endogenous and dependent, thus the
- question of randomness and predicatbility have totally different
- genre's for me.
-
- Anyway, I've developed a theory about (what I consider to be) the real
- drivers in markets. Even had it accepted at a few international
- conferences but no journal will publish it as it strikes at the heart
- of some of the most fundamental axioms in finance and economic theory.
-
- Oh well, at least this newsgroup is interesting.
