Quotes

  • Markets look a lot less efficient from the banks of the Hudson than from the banks of the Charles.

    Fisher Black

  • I was never a pure efficient marketer, even in the 1980s when I was Gene Fama’s Ph.D. student (my dissertation on the success of price momentum was a hint!). Living through the tech bubble, the global financial crisis, and the insane trouncing of value stocks from 2018 to 2020 led me to drift even further away from pure market efficiency. I still think markets are the best way for society to allocate capital, but that’s as much about how bad nonmarket alternatives are.
