  • The Efficient Life Hypothesis

    No, this isn't a hot stock tip or an attempt to discuss a particular stock, index or specific sector or a market. For those of you who were expecting that, I apologize.

    Much has been said and written lately of the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH), but I still would like to try to make a small contribution.

    About 10 years ago I met a person who seemed equally interested in financial markets, we hit it off and had many interesting discussions on various financial topics over the years. I still remember his first question very well, or, to be more specific, his second question. His first question was if I invested in individual stocks or just index funds. When I said yes to stocks he gave me a funny look and asked me if I was familiar with the EMH. I don't remember exactly what my response was, but I'm sure it was either too long to be interesting or too brief to have enough evidence to adequately support my view.
