This is not a grammar or spelling contest. Maybe you should read how to win friends and influence people. Check out what it says about damage caused by unnecessary criticism.

Joe Calandro, Jr., Author of 'Applied Value Investing': 'Every Investor Should Be Active'

It seems to me that efficient market theory depends on knowing all there is to know about a company. With all the bogus figures spewed out how could anyone think in terms of an efficient market. As the author pointed out, if the market was efficient the banking crisis would never have gotten that far and Bernie Madoff would never have achieved a life term in jail, or think Enron or any of the rest of the tragedies. WHO KNEW?

Why do you know how much extra cost would be involved in a transaction like that? I would hesitate to refer to someone as successful as him as a fool.

An Alternative View on the Rising Price of Gold

If you take all the gold in the world and divide it amongst all the people in the world you would need a microscope to see your share. Exchanges, the auctions Warren Buffet and others call Mr. Market are largely driven by emotions and are largely irrational and have manic depressive peronalities often with good reason. What gold is or isn't doesn't matter. What matters is how much someone is willing to pay for it and what someone else is willing to sell it for at a given time. You are deciding which train to get on. the one going down hill or the one going up hill. Volume and direction are equally important. The quoted sale price on any given day dosen't tell you what the most money interested in the asset is thinking. It really is about what people are thinking not what we as individuals think or feel(emotion).

Why Did Housing Go into a Bubble?

You are right. but you left out a whole lot of other folks staring with the Carter administration where subprime was forced on banks with the full knowledge that people would not be able to pay the utility bill much less the mortgage or take care of the property.
