Can you expand on this? Are you claiming that the stock market is ergodic, or that it is not?
- H8crilA 6y agoThis applies much mote to actors within a securities market (both investors and issuers), not necessarily to this or that market itself. Most people's behavior is non ergodic. Though I suppose even if you broaden "the market" even to all of civilization - it is also non-ergodic, at least since nukes and hydrogen bombs were created.
