Do you really believe the market is efficient? That has seemed like bullshit to me ever since I first heard it.
Uh oh, here come randfags...

It generally is over long periods of time but not instantly, no
>>987240
The market represents the collective mind of the people.
Humans are not perfectly efficient and expecting any business or market to be is foolish.
>>987240
Hell no. The market is the most inefficient and failure prone mechanism for directing work and allocating wealth... except for every alternative.
>>987240
It's better to have people with an idea on how to make money run the economy than a committee that doesn't know how to do anything
>>987240
Most efficient possible? No of course not.
Most efficient option that can be come up with by humans thus far? Absolutely.

more like berners
Can't tell if anyone ITT actually knows what efficiency means wrt the market.

the market to me seem efficient.
i dont know stocks, but when i look at car values and house values, i see that they are pretty much selling for their proper value.
of course there are local inefficienes which lucky people or pros are able to exploit
It wouldn't be that bad if we could also have a functioning democracy where the leaders represented the people. Democratic Capitalism is great, it's just that what we have now is more like Corpratism/corporate socialism where there is socialism for large companies but not individuals.

I feel the market is what works now. After all, we do live in a post-capitalist era fresh out of Mercantile times. However, this is soon to collapse there is no doubt about this. Socialism isn't something humans ought to do, it is something that is needed at a certain point.
The markets aren't efficient. If they were, you'd understand the risk discounts necessary to calculate any meaningful numbers.
the idea that markets are perfectly efficient is something you will ONLY hear from academics or students with no actual experience. step onto any trading floor at a bank, hedge fund etc. and you'd have a hard time finding one person that wouldn't laugh at you for believing that crap.

technically no because the vast majority of money made through trading is made through exploiting market inefficiencies (arbitrage).
technically yes because the exploitation of those arbitrage opportunities is the market correcting itself.
