.Rajiv Sethi Invincible Markets Hypoths.

There has been a lot of impassioned debate over the efficient markets hypothesis recently, but some of the disagreement has been semantic rather than substantive, based on a failure to distinguish clearly between informational efficiency and allocative efficiency. Roughly speaking, informational efficiency states that active management strategies that seek to identify mispriced securities cannot succeed systematically, and that individuals should therefore adopt passive strategies such as investments in index funds. Allocative efficiency requires more than this, and is satisfied when the price of an asset accurately reflects the (appropriately discounted) stream of earnings that it is expected to yield over the course of its existence. http://rajivsethi.blogspot.com/2010/02/invincible-markets-hypothesis.html
