Total tangent, but how much of the stock market do you think is fair? By fair I mean abiding by SEC regulations (and other obvious laws, such as regular fraud), versus unfair where people are using insider trading, trying to influence a short, or even have some ulterior motive perhaps related to politics?
Now I hope someone more knowledgeable than me chimes in with links to articles or papers, because I'd really love to learn more.
- AnimalMuppet 7y agoI said that the market might be irrational, not that it might be unfair. "Irrational" is values that are not based on a reasonable interpretation of the company's financial state and reasonably forseeable future. This is what I think is meant by the saying "The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent." "Unfair" means corrupt, rigged, or otherwise dishonest. I wasn't suggesting that. But like you, I'd love to see the results if someone can measure it...
